I am *sick* of that assimilation of people against dunc-tank being those who feel DDs can't be paid.

I've never seen anyone on any mailing list have anything against developers being paid by HP or Progeny - and an entity like HP manages much more money than dunc-tank. I've seen, though, people opposed to a project leader using his notoriety as such to raise funds among DDs to pay people he chose. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
