@downey I'd hope these generate revenue for doing good improvements.

@downey Sustainability is hard and there is not one universal rulebook for how to do it. I think there is room to call people in rather than call people out.

In the grand scheme of things, would selling plushies be the game-changing fundraising model to push for major improvements? Probably not.

Yet do I admire the effort to build for more sustainability? Yes. Do I think we already ask a lot of maintainers to sustain their work and add features? Yes.

Our FLOSS world is special, but hard.
