That's not meant as a threat or criticism of anybody, however it sounded. It's just reality and I'm trying to give people the clearest heads up I can...I am retiring from OSU next year (not from the project, just my day job), and my time to help people is going to be very much limited by and large to members.

So if you think that matters to you, you should do what you feel you need to.

I think we charge a pittance for what we offer probably by a factor of 10, but that doesn't seem to be enough to incentivize membership, so I'm just stating something I think should be pretty obvious...

All the folks jumpinng off to Okta and Entra, you'd best consider whether you also use the SP or not, in other words.
