yes, we need decissions that everyone is on board with, even if they
did not vote for the winning choice.

I think the gitlab vs forgejo decission was such a decission, it had
a very clear outcome.

This testing period can show that forgejo works better and that it leads
to more contributors and fewer unreviewed patches.
Or it can fail to do so.

I think having the result of that testing, could convince most people
which is the right choice
