Hum... implementing data... mkdir data add data in the available section list of dinstall and apt/dpkg/etc. The implementation of data is just a renamed copy of contrib or non-free but with a different purpose. It's a policy thing, nothing else. I agree with you however that voting on the proposal is bit... too early.
