Fair enough, so let me put that on the agenda for the next BoD
call.

That is a phenomenal expense. I feel rather unhappy spending this much
money without really getting to the bottom of whether it is truly
necessary.

I'd like to defer this until after the LinuxTag / 3.5.4 release rush to
have some more reading time, and until we've discussed this again
interactively in view of the sum.

So -1 (for now).

Thanks,

Michael.
