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?

Regards,
Thorsten
