Ah.  Financing.  It's possible to do nearly anything with unlimited
financing.  Let me know what you line up.  I've been trying to figure
out some way to make Open Source work generate some kind of income for
_years_.

What you're saying is equivalent to "first, you build the highway;
after that, driving on it is easy!"  Yeah.  The "build the highway"
part is the hard part and you've just dismissed that.

What's "shitting on people" is your attitude which, frankly, stinks.
You're treating people, who are actually doing work, very poorly.
You're dismissing their work and lecturing them.  This demotivates
people.

In my all time on FreeBSD, posts of the form "I demand that XYZ be done,
and done my way, but I don't have the time to work on it" go absolutely
nowhere, and instead make the poster look bad.
