[Discuss] curious statement on github about oshwa certiification

[Nancy Ouyang]

Err, was more wondering about the last phrase, "the only thing that
certification adds to a project is increased liability to civil suits,"
which I'm sure is a very unflattering portrayal of the value that
certification adds, unless I'm very confused.

Thanks,
