I also have concerns about those forums and having in our infrastructure
such a support channel that we don't seem to monitor.
If we don't want to commit or give the impression of committing to user
support, it would be better to shutdown the related channels and let people
move to other unofficial channels like StackOverflow, as they already do by
the way.

FWIW, on other projects I'm actively working on (LSP4E, Corrosion, Wild Web
Developer), I've asked for removal of the forums, and I don't have the
impressiont the projects suffered from it, on the contrary, it brought some
exposure on external channels.
