And IM-equally-HO it is completely unfair to talk about risks in any
situation where there is nothing yet to talk about! Give it a chance
and wait for something that's more than just an idea, and then assess
the risks based on an implementation.

Or just say "this won't fly" now so that people who would like to work
on this can turn their attention to something else. Also fine. Really.

Ciao!
