Hi Jay,

if you permit my opinion as a kind of guest-reader for years: don't think it's needed.
IMO it was an accident. Hopefully the person will recover and present it's

Expect org-mode users being decent people by virtue of these fine thing themselves.
Really don't assume that might happen next years again.

Best,

Andreas
