This very much depends on how much outside contribution we get, and remember, we don't just need a one-off contribution of $xxx, but rather an ongoing stream of contributions otherwise the full-timer won't last long. > 3) If -stable is dropped (as it seems to be more then possible on the > moment) what will be the future policy on -stable-like things?

This has yet to be decided as far as I know, and very much depends on the resources available at the time I would think.
