I think the real question we need to answer here is:

	Would people be willing to subscribe to a *different*
	subscription plan where a donation to FreeBSD, Inc was
	already factored in?

If the answer to this question is a significant yes, I'll push with
Walnut Creek CDROM to set something up.

We are starting to get significant donations now and while we're still
nowhere near the point where we could actually hire people with the
funds available, that's definitely a goal of mine.
