While agreeing that this is true, I would caution that many, if not
most, prospective users of Cocoon have to make the decision whether
or not to invest themselves in Cocoon *before* getting involved with
it to any significant degree. We can't ask everybody to jump out
of the airplane wearing an Acme parachute, saying "trust me, it works,
as you'll find out once you're committed." :-)

In other words, it is very reasonable for Julian to ask searching
questions before getting deep enough into Cocoon to become a contributor.
And if we the Cocoon community want Cocoon to be accepted widely by
people/projects for whom it's appropriate, we need to be able to
demonstrate, to a reasonable degree, Cocoon's fitness for particular
purposes, without asking the inquirer to make a big time commitment.
