I'd say the opposite: it's rude to assume they wouldn't be interested, rather than asking and letting them come to their own decision. (I don't know where the notion of "forcing" them to do anything came from.) I am incredibly uncomfortable with the idea of putting the responsibility of the health of the web in the hands of one project. In fact, one of the main reasons I started working at Mozilla was to prevent this. / Jonas
