Exactly. For each situation (or particular task or types of tasks), there would be many reasons that drive a decision of where that work is done. And instead of blankly say how it should be done *always*, it is more useful to figure out if there is a better way to achieve the same goals, for that particular situation. For a simple example, if there is a time limit on some task, then generally speaking whoever could fulfill that time limit requirement would be the natural choice, whether the person is paid staff, a volunteer, or a contractor. Obviously I am simplifying the analysis. The overall point is -- for anything anyone wants to change (the way how it is done), it is more constructive to suggest the alternative, so that everyone is confident that it is a good alternative and then agree to go that route. Of course there will be cases where opinions differ on which is the better route, and that is where it tests our collaborative spirit.
