Well, you can't list 'non-free' as an option here as faac contains content that belongs to
tainted repo. If you land it there we will cause problems for some mirrors and that is a
no-go option.
If you want to vote then we can vote between those options:
- land it in 'tainted'
- it remains excluded
My vote goes to tainted. Yes, non-free and free packages will be mixed but most users would
vote for including it. Free software lovers can just avoid it. They should be better
informed than normal user anyway.
