Comment 26 for bug 575518

Hey Jeremy. I removed my debugging attachments, as they kind of cluttered the report and I guess they're really not useful anyways in this situation.

From a philosophical standpoint, not to be a gnuisance, but is it not unethical to encourage people to use non-free software by enabling the non-free repositories by default?

From a technical standpoint, I'd be curious to know how much contemporary hardware out there would actually be affected if the non-free blobs were stripped out completely and not even repackaged. I think this would be very interesting. The Ubuntu hardware database is a logical place to refer to and would be a great place to check, but I think the site is still broken. =(
