About a year ago, there was a GR (general resolution) that Debian had

That's all fine and good, and I've been persuaded to see the Debian
perspective on this. However, there would be fewer angry users if the
package maintainers put the non-DFSG stuff into non-free _before_ they
excised it from main.
