Because those of us who are engaged on the project thought that it's the

If you want someone to join your party, then the best way is to use
rational arguments and gentle persuasion. Giving bald ultimatums to
communities with other options usually achieves the direct opposite effect.
So it doesn't seem a rational approach to me -- unless, of course, your
primary object is really to shut down the service, and then it is rational.
