[ppml] Keeping the story straight

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Jeroen,

Is nothing personal. I can trust you, many people can trust many volunteer
services, but for something that big enterprises need to have the security
of a 0% collision chances, they will not trust a volunteer service. There is
NO warrantee for them that this will keep running forever.

Is nothing related to you work, is just the way enterprises work.

Is nothing related to you offering this service, it can be another volunteer
team, it will be the same.

Regards,
Jordi
