+Why?
+I respect those who don't want to use non-free software, so this 
+shouldn't be a discussion about ideology. But I don't see a real 
+difference between an free-iso + an extra iso for non-free and an iso 
+where non-free is in an extra directory and can be used if the user 
+wants to.
+The only difference I see is, like wobo said, the public perception but 
+this couldn't be your trigger?
