I dunno how I missed this, but--
I agree w/ tbm, I don't see the issues as all that problematic. I find
it disappointing, but not exactly suprising, that alot of the project
members disagree outright at the very notion. Not very open-minded, in
my view. :)

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).
