Wow. I could not think that someone could see that as negative. We just
agree to disagree. It is a good thing that SoC allows helping the
smaller projects. The idea is to help the projects that wouldn't
otherwise have the work-force to enhance their functionality and expand
their community. If you see it on another perspective what is the point
of helping the strongest that already have big active communities?
