Thanks for these explanations.

I can see how these traits can be useful in some cases. Given the
target audience you've described, I think they don't belong very well
on this page, and we should:

- move them elsewhere
- inline them in the revelant contribute/how/* pages (graphics,
documentation, etc.)

I am undecided between the sliders vs. this text.

I think I care more about displaying this info only to its
target audience.
