Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
I know resources are limited but I very very strongly object with
this course of action. A lot of people are not on these mailing
list, just not reading it or on holiday because it's summer.
Suspending, shutting down and deletion projects is a good way to
piss off and scare away volunteers. I'm sure that's not your
intended outcome. <br>

I think the one-month window is more</div><div>than enough for people to chime in. Also: he said that anyone could mark an instance</div><div>as used, it doesn't have to be the *owner*</div><div><br></div><div>As far as not being on this list: I'd recommend that they join.
