Well stated. There's going to be a lot of experimentation in reaction to the HF. The projects with the best ideas to adapt will be the ones that survive and thrive, this is in contrast to the ones that lash out at the community in their death throws.

This seems like a good step in that direction. This goes way beyond simply implementing anti-abuse measures you should have already implemented months and months ago.
