Nice article - thanks Mark!
As removing CLAs apparently becomes more popular (and in some cases used as a marketing stunt), the "community" cost of keeping one will increase (not talking about the technical/legal/moral benefits or drawbacks here). As a community that prides itself on its inclusiveness, we clearly don't want to be the last ones to drop our CLA.
