And people make these evaluations by talking about them on the internet. That's how it works, that's what we're doing. There are other considerations, like cost-of-switch and availability of suitable alternatives, sure. But we talk about this all on the internet. Same as 'demanding' that someone fix heartbleed or other bugs in OpenSSL for us. Nobody has to do anything, but there is a point at which people will start looking for alternatives if things aren't done. And people talk about what that point is on the internet.
