Second the point on the 'non-technical' sites. Those were generally started by people already heavily involved with StackExchange through the main site. They were normal people with a wide range of other interests, and it was perfectly normal to them to take advantage of the platform to create Q&A sites for their hobbies and interests. Impact those other interests, and their interest in the main site will be dramatically diminished.

As a SU mod - I've pretty literally been excluded from the SO survey cause I'm not a developer. SF's has a few pretty major incidents of drama with many similarities to past events, and kinda hasn't been the same since. We're often in the same boat, even as technical sites.
