Well, the sense in which it seems retrograde to me is that, previously,
COMMERCIAL_LICENSE named a list of packages and I could add or remove
things as I saw fit depending on my distro policy requirements.  Now,
they're all just marked "Commercial" in an undifferentiated way and
there doesn't seem to be any easy mechanism for me to take some but not
all of them.
