I think that result is twofold:
* from the positive side we can see that people who are paid to do a
specific job, can do that job with a higher mid-term burst efficiency
and that money can be raised for such causes;
* from the negative side we can see that Debian does not like money. In
particular two things come to mind - Debian as a project should not pay
people (any payments must be totally separate from Debian) and Debian
does not necessary trust the paid developers (which was less of a
concern this time).
- From that I can surmise, that similar activities should continue under a
banner that is not in any (high livel) way connected to Debian or SPI
(no sharing of board members or DPL delegates being in the board) and
that there should be a community oversight over inclusion of the (larger
scale) work of paid developers into the project to prevent any
possibility of contamination by commercial interests.
