I guess you meant free (as defined by FSF, or we can make our own
definition, like debian), we surely don't want to restrict ourself to GPL-
only stuff.

Merging "codecs" and "firmware" into "tainted" makes sense.
So "games" and "extra" gets merged back into core (except for non-free games
of course), won't this make an enormous repos?
I think it was better to have a separated games repos, as it will quickly
get big, and is likely to have frequent backports (as gamers generally want
to have the latest release).
Would it be possible to have a separate games sub-project, that won't freeze
to make releases with the rest of mageia?
Instead it would be an always updating repos which is compiled with the
latest stable release (or even the previous, if it is possible to have
packages that install correctly on both).
The project would only have a "testing" and "release" (or another name to
avoid confusion with other "release" repos which are frozen), this way you
could quickly have new versions of all the games, if they don't need
bleeding-edge libraries (I think they rarely does).
