@crawfordsm I don't have a well-articulated position, but I have a growing unease about the balance between sustaining existing projects and fostering new ones, and how that plays in to things like sunk cost (in ways that support each side) and community building.
I'm not convinced we have enough of a longitudinal study of cost/benefits independent of other upheavals (political, hardware, software) to make informed decisions other than aspirational value judgments.
