My first thought while reading this was that I'm really unsure if we need
such limitations. Honestly, I don't know.
Well, it has been repeatedly suggested by the board, and I think their point is fair. We should be able to describe what we do in a more generic sense. Look at the recent logging/portal TLP efforts. I've even been daydreaming whether the Cocoon portal shouldn't cross-liaise/find common grounds with the new portal TLP, but that's irrelevant to this discussion.
What happens if we "forget" something in this mission statement?
Then we need to change and defend the chance to the board. No biggies, me thinks.
And if we really need this, at least a category for tools is missing.
