<nod> But when I was doing this for fun, the single thing that stressed
me out the most was when outside stresses meant my users got screwed
because I wasn't able to find time to maintain my project. So having
other maintainers meant my project wasn't dead just because of my job or
my classes or whatever. That applies to all of us, I'd think, whether or
not gnome is for fun or for work.
