While there are changes that I'd like to see, a moratorium for a few
years would benefit all of us in the long run:

- It's easier for companies to justify training.

- It's easier to gain adoption for long-term projects.

- It's easier to hold the attention of potential contributors for bug fixes.

(And for many other reasons, but those are big ones in my book these days.)
