Just curious: what would be an "upgrade model" and what "resources"?  I do
certainly appreciate the non-profit nature of SIL and how busy everyone
is.  But AFAIK, when other free software licenses have been upgraded, the
community has participated, and it sure seems like there are a lot of
interested parties who are willing to comment on these FAQ changes and
white paper.  And it seems rare that a license would be upgraded on any
sort of schedule; it's usually undertaken only when a real-world issue
triggers it or a really long time has elapsed.

Ultimately, that's orthogonal to the third reason mentioned, of course.
OFL is their license; no question about that, and it is and should be their
call.
