Distributions quote of the fortnight

[Posted January 7, 2025 by jzb]

Please be careful in your efforts to make contributing easier to not alienate those who already contribute, sometimes for decades. Also: it's rather easy to kill motivation but very hard to revive it, once killed.

—Holger Levsen

I wish more folks understood this.

Trading existing contributors for hypothetical future contributors almost never works out.
