There's a number of issues. But painting it in broad terms; although advertising might make the projects *financially* stable, it may not make their *content* stable. That's to say, a lot of contributors / volunteers / editors might leave. I'd argue with your terminology, though. You say that advertising would make the Foundation "self-reliant and self-sustainable". It wouldn't be though, would it? It would be reliant on advertisers and sustained by advertisers.
