I might be mistaken, since I'm not a native English speaker, but you 
seem to imply that having DDs with less "privileges" can be a bad thing. 

If my hunch was right, do you think that people might not want to join 
the Project due to the fear of becoming "second-class citizens" or are 
there some other problems that you expect?
