I dunno how I missed this, but-- I agree w/ tbm, I don't see the issues as all that problematic.

I tend to agree that we don't seem to need the money currently, although I do wonder about the possibility of what we might do with a consistent dependable revenue stream (debconf trips for Debian, additional obscure hardware and professional hosting for it).
