This was an interesting reading, but I have some questions regarding it:

Do we have any information on this? Is this based on a "gut feeling" or on some
actual data?

So these would be automated or manual checks? If the later, we'll need to figure
out a mechanism for a project to move back to the list of active project no?

The text you present here are meant to be placed on the FAQ? Or on the page
presenting how we qualify project has been active or not?

Basically the idea sounds fine but I am a bit wondering how big it is and how
easy it would be to automate (because I don't think we would want manual checks).


What's your thoughts? :)
