My personal case: I want more input than I'd get working only on FreeBSD proper. I'm not certain I'd do as good work on FreeBSD if I had to work only on that 'forever'. But I still think being able to buy 6 months of people's time would be a Good Thing.
The only problem is our karnal nature. Based on what we see so far, can you imagine the mehem once core member X gets 30% of the budget for his/her pet project, while developer Y gets nothing.
As much as I wanted to help and triggered much of this debate, I almost regret doing it. I think setting realistic goals and changing (some) of the progress from ``I write what I please when I please'' to a plan layed out by -core, setting achievable goals and finding colunteers to participate in that effort, as subordinates rather than masters may move some stuff that is stuck now.
I had a friend in another free software project that was involved in building a communications sattelite for the Ham Radio operators. He fascinated me with the details of how the different disciplines corrdinated to lift the thing into space and have it actually work. I apologize for forgetting your name, but you are probably listening...
