No numbers. Personally, I didn't realize the difference in the first place, only when it was mentioned in some discussion in debian-user-german (which was quite early in my personal "Debian history"). But from then on, I think it was clear to me. I will vote for keeping the non-free infrastructure. However, I think it would be a good idea to move non-free from all "standard places" in documentation to a separate chapter. This includes, most importantly, all boilerplate lines for sources list. If we suggest users to use deb ftp://ftp.$country.debian.org/debian woody main non-free contrib in our basic docs (and even in the installer-generated sources.list, IIRC), we need not be surprised if users don't see the difference.
