We decided to move these into the FSD because that had some advantages.
It also has some disadvantages. It isn't a perfect fit, and this
is an example of how it is not perfect.
But I think it's ok to have a less-than-perfect fit here,
since there is no obvious perfect alternative.
"For software only available on Replicant see F-Droid
(which contains a small percent of software with nonfree issues
which are prominently warned about prior to install)." -

We could add the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Single-platform_free_software
link after that text for people interested in single-platform free
software like this:
"See
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Single-platform_free_software
Wikipedia for single-platform free software] that only run on
proprietary operating systems. But please make sure that they are
fully free because anyone can add content to Wikipedia."
This is a very imperfect solution but still somewhat useful, what
do you think about it?
