Partly because it is the low hanging fruit (i.e. the thing that will have
the most impact in forwarding our goals of accessible knowledge).

Partly because of the old adage that things that people complain about the
most are those that get noticed.

It is unfortunate that the board chose to cast the initiative in this
light; because I can entirely see why some factions would find it
unpalatable (as presented).
