No. A matter of support.
Okay. But perhaps a less loaded word than "taint" could be chosen.
MAA
I always had the feeling that "tainted" was not so much meant to be
derogatory as to indicate that the use of proprietary blobs introduce
unknown elements into the kernel. If I brought a glass of purple water
down to the local water purification plant and complained that their
water tasted like grapes, they'd tell me it wasn't their problem that
I'd added grape kool-aid to it. Same thing. Well, except for that fact
that it's a crappy analogy.

Hmmm. Maybe Debian could set up "activation servers" that could
determine whether or not we are using "genuine Debian".
