Why Recommend rather than Depend? The latter would allow a hard conflict with everything with a specific kind of badness, which seems exactly like the thing people here are looking for. Thus, if I want for example to be free of AGPL (which for some reason is allowed in main despite being neither Four Freedoms nor DFSG free), I ban nonfree-agpl and there's no way it can sneak back in. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Meow! ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Collisions shmolisions, let's see them find a collision or second ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ preimage for double rot13!
