There are/were enough Mandriva mirrors who did not mirror PLF at all.

A built-in filter in a software is not the same as a separate branch.
It is a difference between seeing free and non-free in separate
branches and just believe that there is a filter and that it is
working all the time. There have been bugs in urpmi, why do you regard
that filter to be perfect per se?
It's a difference between a developer/packager who uploads a package
to a branch by intention and a packager who just adds a tag (or may
have forgotten to add it). A packager who just forgot to add a
dependency is no hoax - why do you think a packager who forgot to add
a tag is a hoax? Or a myth?
