I really cannot see this constant talk of lawsuits as desperately helpful.

Yes, the Foundation could be sued if something goes horribly wrong.
But if something goes horribly wrong, *we've failed already*, and
whether or not we get sued over it is almost irrelevant - things have
gone horribly wrong, after all!

We should be concentrating on things not going horribly wrong, not
concentrating on not getting sued when they do. Approaching it from
this angle just seems, well, not right.
