Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood: I do not want to start a 
discussion about games removal. I would - if really necessary - propose 
a move to a separate section in the archive to facilitate an easy 
"parental controls" setup.

The reason for this is that the legitimate goal of protecting minors is 
presently used by interested parties as a general legal argument to 
remove civil liberties. I want to protect the main part of our archive 
from regulatory intervention and to make sure not to feed that argument 
if it can be avoided.
