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. =(
