[keycloak-user] Stack Overflow

I prefer a good knowledge-base system over mailing list for being
easier for searching for already answered questions, and having means
to track user interest e.g. by up/downvoting questions and the
answers. SO is one example of KB system which does its job well and
has established position in the community. The risk is not owning the
data - and a possibility of advertising a concurrent product is a
relevant point. Are there any other drawbacks?
