Clear problem statement

Came up in #32

I would very much like to see a clear problem statement from the foundation about what problem you’re trying to solve here. I’ve read through the README and proposal and simply can’t parse it out. The best I can gather is “We want the OSS community to provide first party levels of trust and guarantees.”, but that’s not really a problem, it’s a solution.

It's about enabling Microsoft to recommend and take dependencies on libraries not created by them instead of creating new ones that squash projects.

I hope this isn’t the truth, but an unfortunate case of mis-speaking by a board member. Any maturity model proposed by and supported by the foundation should be done with the community’s best interest in mind, not Microsoft’s.

The interests are aligned. We help and grow the community by helping customers feel safe using open source. In some cases those customers need to hear it from a large company like Microsoft, Google, or Amazon.
