Thats a great question! What's the benefit? How does a purge, or honor
title creation help the Ambassadors Project achieve it's goal more
effectively?
Our goals (per the wiki) are to:
# Represent Fedora Project to the wider public
# Help spread the word about Fedora, Linux, and Open Source
# Be a point of contact for local community members and channel the
feedback to Fedora Project
# Help recruit project contributors
# Think of creative ways for promoting Fedora in your region
Which of those goals are we accomplishing when we do this.
The closest thing that I can think of is that we 'scare' or motivate
people who so desperately want to hang onto the title 'Ambassador' into
doing the minimum amount of work necessary to retain said title and
engendering much ill will in the process which seems counter to our goals.
+1. This does nothing to help the problem, and will only serve to drive
users away from the project. Frankly, I can't even believe this is
being discussed.
