However, if all potential contributions are viewed as criticism to be refuted, it will damage the ability of the project to attract contributors. Rather than telling a potential contributor that their efforts will never be included in the official distribution it would be more supportive of the project to say that a port of PF would be welcome as a port, but might have difficulty displacing current offering. That doesn't promise anything, but encourages involvement, if indeed involvement is desired.
