 2a) Do Fedora's foundations allow for any ease of use around non-free

 We seem to have several people that think they don't, yet we have wiki
 pages explicitly describing how to install non-free software (
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash). We also have a page that points to
 3rd party repositories that contain a wide variety of software of both
 free and non-free nature (
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Third_party_repositories), which has been
 approved yet seems at odds.

IMO, this is a deflection and fails to recognize the difference of describing something in the wiki vs providing the software much more directly.  If a couple of pages in the wiki is being brought up some kind of major counter point,  I will be happy to redirect the wiki pages to dozens of questions and answers that are similarly asked and answered regularly in Ask Fedora.  Ask Fedora is a user community forum and hence I suppose have less of an endorsement value compared to the wiki but would serve the same purpose as informing the users without having this side discussion occupy the board time.
