José, what alternative phrasings do you think would be more obvious?
"Give up" seems clear to me, but I could imagine how a non-native
speaker might not catch the subtle difference between "Give" and "Give
up" if reading quickly.
Ideas:
2.2 - Abandon primary maintainership status
2.2 - Drop primary maintainership status
2.2 - Nuke primary maintainership status
The later is slang, but evocative of the severity of the choice.
Or we could slap a big warning on it:
2.2. - DON"T DO THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY MEAN TO: Drop primary
maintainership status
What do you think?
Thanks,
David
