An how does a project benefit from users that do not contribute? We should instead animate 'users' to become contributors. And note: contribution does not mean: you have to provide code. There are a lot of tasks to do, so that everybody should find an area of choice.
A project which creates software greatly benefits from users, because that's
the whole point of doing it after all. If openSUSE is not used by anybody, why
do it? So the goal should be to reach out to many users, regardless if they
contribute or not. Of course we want to make users contribute, but not every
user will do that, and that's fine.
