Commitment will require continuity, so in the long run I want it to be independent of me, except for technical input. I plan transfer it to a foundation in a few years. At the same time I'd like to keep a firm hand on the wheel to keep it lean and focused.
As for the 'hack' part: I am rather old... And I remember very lively people thought Kernighan and Ritchie C was a hack to avoid programming directly for a processor using a macro assembler.
