I think the non-free documentation is on its way out of main as we speak, and there is hope of resolving the impasse with the FSF. I do not object to transition periods and things taking time to accomplish. Was there any hope that the ocaml-doc documentation would become free? I do not object to the notion that there might be room in Debian for a non-free archive which included things like documentation and drivers for closed hardware, but the pro-non-free crowd didn't see fit to propose any such compromises. The only resolution you all came up with was the "reaffirm non-free" which is, well, awful in my opinion. Thomas
