You mean like donated update mirrors, and the ASF providing the infra-
structure?
This is an Open Source project. The developers spend their free time.
Cash would be news to me...

The rules in trunk are very often intended for QA and testing, and not

new features in trunk *code*, not available with the latest stable

There are some changes to the general system WRT this topic. Though
again, not really applicable to current stable...
