The tricky thing is that its hared to tell what "the group" thinks.
There seem to be a lot varied opinions on this mailing list thread,
but it is mainly the loudest people that you hear shouting. I would
suggest some sort of poll to gauge consensus, but that would no doubt
cause more trouble.
AFAICT, the amount of non-free software on the ubuntu cds is really
quite small, and distributing it is a necessary evil in order to get
some people interesting in software freedom.

Yes, we should always have gnewsense cds as well, and explain that
they are more free than ubuntu. However, I don't think it is practical
to give gnewsense cds to most first-time-gnu-users, as most will see
even switiching to ubuntu as an inconvenience.
