FSF-free-only repository is a lovely idea. But it won't be enough to satisfy 
practical need for non-free drivers and perhaps for some mild cases when for 
example upstream ship an artwork (images) that nobody can establish an 
ownership for. 

Having said that I think it is a good idea to have more than one non-free with 
different criteria because fsf-free is probably better to keep apart from 
truly evil non-free like source-less blobs etc.
