The way I see it, these are mutually exclusive proposals. So,
either we get Andrews proposal, that throws out non-free from the
social contract, and the next release shall not have a corresponding
non free section; or we get AJ's version which shall not change the
social contract, and reaffirm the developers intent of retaining the
non-free sections.
It did seem clear to me that the proposals were diametrically
opposed to each other.
