Too subjective, IMO. If we're really serious about this then would we not also need a process to vacuum old projects? Plus, in addition to being extremely subjective, and contentious, isn't sustainability and diversity a transitory aspect? Someone who's been working on a project for ten years now has his project booted because some company decided to pull out developers? That seems like a no win situation for that person and for the company who may end up looking like the bad guy. Regards, Alan
