I recently proposed another one:

4. Keep contrib and nonfree as they are, but add a new one,
'antisocial' to contain systemd and all its dependents.
We take things out of 'antisocial' as we are able to remove their
dependencies. If we don't want to sound so negative, we could call it
'systemd' instead.

P.S. I proposed it tongue-in-cheek, but it is startinf to sound
reasonable.
