Imagine that we receive 80% of the donation directed to the Mac porting project. I would not find that fair for the other projects like the bibliographic one who's the first to come to my mind, or any other project that will have an important impact on our product (which, if you look deeper at any todo project list is the case).
It would not be fair to accept money that the donor intended for one thing and use it on something else. Especially without the donor's permission. What's important to you may not coincide with what's important to me (indeed, if you want to spend my money on something different from what I asked, then we don't coincide). If you accept money intended for one thing and spending on something else you like better you might even face a lawsuit. In addition, donors may be less willing to donate if they feel they can't trust you to respect their request. You can only reallocate money that is either yours, or was given without provisions.
