Too big, because we actually contain some dead projects IMO. We should
contain those projects in some place until someone is ready to take over.

I prefer we thinking about restructuring in long-term. Projects don't make
much sense to me now a day. SIGs/WGs to making cross-project development
might be a better approach in the feature.

Not really, we could have multiple foundations trying on multiple projects.
To have a single Foundation willing to take over the part and evolved to
something else is pretty amazing.

Yes, you need extra time to check with projects. And since we're doing
community goal approach, the bigger the number, the more complex the goal
will be.

To named with Open Infra developer might be even suitable IMO, to allow
people to think and plan on a higher level.
