Great idea but you have to think about funding. Either you make it ad-supported - which is a hard model to make pay at the GR level of usage, or you introduce subscription fees which necessarily limits your userbase (most people won't pay).
And my guess would be the numbers leaving at the moment aren't that huge, certainly there are only a few hundred distinct usernames on the feedback threads. Most people will take a wait-and-see approach.
