So maybe it's not it *yet* but at least he is thinking about it, and he is (and I'll let him correct that statement if not 100% correct) preparing the road to a way for DDs to live from beeing a DD. That cannot be made with only small or fairly small donations (by small I think donations under a few k€/kUSD).

I agree with you about small scale donations. they go in the cat (1) of the donations from my mail <[🔎] 200610081246.37500.madcoder@debian.org>.
