It's already having social costs. Look at the upheaval, on this very
list, that we're ourselves participants of.
In all, me suspects that the change, should we make it, will have the
following effects--
0) Continuing churn, both in the code and on the mailing lists;
1) The folks at IBM relievedly ticking boxes on forms submitted to
management;
2) No increase -attributable to the change- in contributions;
3) An increase in certain people's level of disgust;
and, finally:
3) The folks at IBM (and quite possibly others), having taken note
that we gave in to political pressure once, sooner or later try to
make us do so again, quite possibly on an even less sensical
subject.
