I understand your point of view.
However, I don't think making it harder for new users to install GNU
Emacs on common GNU/Linux distros by not mentioning installation
procedures on such systems, and at the same time explaining in detail
how to install GNU Emacs on Windows and OS X is our purpose either.
Also, the purpose of this page is to make adoption of GNU Emacs easier,
not at all to endorse a distro or another.
Do you think we could reach an agreement, for instance by adding a link
and a short text about non-free distros?
