      78 developers across the globe. No one can agree on direction and half drop out in 3 months to fork it. Several forks happen and they all fail, and a few survive but become mutually incompatible.

      You download a poorly tested update via brain apt-get and lose the ability to use the letter k.

      A successful fork takes off and everyone uses it but then IBM buys it. Now big blue owns your brain and charges insane licenses fees.

        You forgot to pay your subscription, and wake up blind. Your eyes have been deactivated until you bring your account current.

          There’s already a company doing this with fall protection vests (airbags for cyclists basically). If you stop paying it stops working.

          If I was a CEO personally I would not want my company to make a product intended to stop working and increase the risk of serious injury or death if the customer stops the subscription, but I’m not a super smart tech guy so I’m sure it’ll work out fine for them.
