Not that it matters now that the vote's been passed, we already have a clear set plan for the future. Although I do believe there's a bit more than "20 actively used .free domains," there's *many* uses for domains outside of websites so I'd hazard a guess in saying there's a lot more than that.

danq.free still exists, though I'm not using the page (danq.co) for anything ATM.

However, danq.null serves the same purpose.
