So at least the following things should change:

1. non-free/undistributable code will be acceptable in main as long as
there is more code to disable that

2. LLM-generated code is okay as long as it is not marked as LLM-
generated

3. maintainers of the Linux kernel, Python interpreter, ... will be
required to rebase a ever-growing set of patches and resolve all
conflicts, including reverting typing changes in all new patches.

I expect you have no time to help with the latter?

At least (1.) seems to require a change to DFSG and/or Social Contract.
