> Don't be afraid, debate is sane

Thanks for the reassurance. It’s sometimes difficult in a “new” community to 
know how people will take things.


> Commitment is just text and I don't have much trust in text.

Well, if most people here think this way, then there really is no way forward 
with this idea.

I find this a bit cynical, but maybe I am too naive. Or perhaps I have been 
living in Japan for way too long.

But I think again you miss the point.

Saying something like “you will never, ever, ever get any support whatsoever” 
is also an SLA. So to some extent, what you just wrote above ironically **IS** 
the SLA you are willing to commit to (at no time to anybody).

It’s all about setting expectations so that people can make reasonable plans, 
not about committing to volunteer time. It’s about communicating what the 
community is willing (or not) to offer, so people know how to approach us.

But then if this is the thinking:

> Commitment is just text and I don't have much trust in text.

Then it’s all pretty much moot. 😀
