If that was all, then I agree. I would have no reason nor basis to say anything.

But that is not it.

Instead, they are asking to spend ASF funds and bypass/work-around a long 
standing tenet. It is much more than just investing 'individual energy'.

Pretend, for example, that I am interested in learning more Kotlin and 
investing my individual energy in doing so. No big deal right? Now pretend in 
doing so, I want the ASF to pay for someone to train me. At that point, it 
becomes much more than me just investing my own individual energy. It is 
expecting the ASF to fund my education, my learning, my development, my 
knowledge. I would fully expect such a scenario to cause... heartburn.

I hope you see the parallels.
