There is the question of exactly how long you'd like this project to 
survive though (in a vibrant form).

Remarked elsewhere recently that a downside of the new development model 
seems to be missing opportunity for new editions of books with "all new! 
covers 2.8!" blurps on the cover.

That is, not seeing quality documentation emerge, not seeing mentoring 
from experienced developers... -- where and how do you want the new 
developers to come from? If only from business linux as a community 
thing is as dead as when you'd just close shop.
