But don't forget - this agreement is with what many people perceive  
as "big bad Zope Corporation"...  I know quite a few people who would  
not sign it because they are paranoid about ZC.

This is up for ZC to decide. If I was at ZC I would support it as  
long as a committed and capable subset of the Plone community (not  
Joe Shmoe off the street, but credible people) is willing to support  
the Plone side (meaning anything "above" CMF) 100%.

I'm one of the people with a login, and I'm willing to support  
anything up to and including CMF.

I'm sure this can be done with ZC cooperation. Personally, I'm in  
favor of more rather than less central control when it comes to  
systems administration. If you have many people who are supposed to  
"be responsible" then you either have all of them falling over each  
other when a problem occurs, or no one shows up because the  
assumption is that another person will pick it up.

I guess basically I'm saying "if you want to do it, then do it right,  
otherwise it's not worth the effort".
