Thanks Vicky, Micha, Pirmin,
This is really good feedback.
I've introduction text to:
"For our next OSGeo-Live release, 11.0, we propose to reduce the number
of packages included, and only support a 64 bit distribution, (32 bit
will be built but not tested or officially supported)."
Regarding OpenHub metrics, I'm very aware that it has many
imperfections. However, as far as I'm aware, it is the best available,
and hence we reference it from OSGeo-Live.
While projects should rightly be concerned if OSGeo-Live only uses
OpenHub metrics to assess project health, they should be significantly
more concerned about the general public's assessment of their project.
I think it should be a priority of all projects to try an ensure their
OpenHub metrics reflect the true health of their project as new users
can, do, and should make use such metrics as part of their due diligence
of project selection.
Warm regard, Cameron

Review comments are welcome
For non-native speakers like me, an earlier hint what the euphemism
"descoping" is standing for, would be very helpful.
Two comments:
Even with English as my mother tongue, I had to think twice about what
phrase referred to. Why not just say outright: "removing some projects".
Regarding the list of considerations to assess projects, we need to
keep in mind that some projects, spatialite for example, use version
control systems that are not "Openhub-friendly". So they are sorely
under-represented on Openhub.
Best,
Micha
