Chronos received mixed to positive reception.

gollark: It is engaged in capitalistic conspiracies.
gollark: Clearly it's good enough for some task/people combinations, because volunteer organizations exist.
gollark: I do not think altruism/"if no one does them they are not done" is a sufficient incentive to make people do necessary quantities of possibly-uninteresting work.
gollark: You need more formal systems to organize people at scale, and we need scale.
gollark: Many companies doing things will have more people than that in one department.
