I found this article on WhyChess.org , which should be relevant to the
variant community:

I had felt that the chess community would benefit, if it took variants more
seriously to deal with the issues it has faced with chess. Well, it looks
like they are going for the idea of reducing the clock, and the variant
community is getting locked out yet again from being taken seriously.
Anyhow, give some thought here to this. It would be of benefit if variants
could go more mainstream.
