Fair enough, disagree. > Any mentor, let alone champion, for whom that is an > unreasonable burden should not have signed up in the first place. That's unfair. I signed up to *mentor* not send silly heartbeat checks that exist because other podling's mentors failed to live up to their responsibility. This feels beyond the minimal governance necessary and a solution to the wrong problem. It'd helpful to say precisely what problem that this heartbeat is intended to solve, in that way, we are afforded the opportunity to propose an alternative solution - for example, by focusing on highlighting the problem mentors/podlings.
