Moving people from closed commercial offerings onto something self hosted is enough work without gatekeeping US open source projects, even if they are flawed. If we want to move normal people away from the commercial offerings onto something better, we can’t do things like that. Better save such warnings for when they are actually needed (”Project X has been dead for five years and is full of security holes, you should migrate to project Y instead”). Keep the experience positive regardless.
You do you, but different people have differing requirements and preferences. Don’t scare them away please.
