I said $12 a day for a server that can provide a decent routing service.

The kernel.org analogy is not really valid. They don't call themselves the
"wiki kernel". When I hack a kernel for an embedded project running on
specialized hardware, they certainly are interested in my changes.

By contrast, we will accept users who come in and make a few changes,
spending as little as 10 minutes. So we need to make the environment as
friendly as possible.
