Not to add more noise, but I wanted to mention that I _really_ like
this point in particular. We've definitely seen plenty of
applications for inclusion which started out as an
internally-developed tool behind closed doors somewhere. When they
get "flung over the wall" to the community they tend to flounder in
their attempts to gain traction as properly open projects in their
own right. I don't think we do a good enough job at highlighting
this risk (yet), and will remember to point it out more often when I
spot it in the future. Thanks!
