Bang on, David and thank you too for your kind comment to me earlier. I
feel we need to somehow inoculate the community effort from being
compromised by unnecessary monetary meddling. Getting the job done for
users is far more important than trying to look too good doing it. (That
was so apparent when I did a test-run with Open Suse, for example.)
