I haven't read the entire chain of emails, so i might be wayy off  
here. I apologize if that's the case.

But think about it. Why do people write/maintain them? Usually because  
it's something they believe in. If you convince them that the proposed  
changes will increase adoption/usage I think that would be a  
sufficient enough motivation. Threatening just seems like a bad idea  
and maybe, a sign of insufficient communication.
