I think it was very good. Transition in a responsible manner takes

It is indeed very important to prevent "capsizing" of projects that
reach a certain critical mass - they have things of value, and attract
people who want to take control of them. For examples, take a look at
what happened to the reform party. There will be more democracy when,
paradoxically, there are more people.
