New proposals uploaded at: http://gnuherds.org/faq#FS_criteria


  Debian  is Almost-Free Software. Debian is a general term which
  refer to Debian GNU/Linux and all Debian ports. The Debian project
  offers the download of some Non-Free Software packages from its
  archives and website.


Karl Goetz new proposal, written via IRC:

  Gobuntu  is Almost-Free Software. Although Gobuntu's stated policy
  is to adhere to the Free Software Foundations four freedoms, it
  presently installs Firefox, which encourages installing non-free
  plugins. Gobuntu enables downloading of non-free software packages
  from its archives, and the use of the ubuntu.com domain promotes
  non-free software.
