Probably because fixing them requires spending a sufficient number of man-hours and a substantial amount of will power, enough so that properly fixing them always gets ranked in the "we can do it later" category. But anyway, it doesn't really matter, I shouldn't rant here, there's no point. There should simply be no more question marks; that sentence should be rephrased into "It does not have to be so incredibily difficult to allow ...". > I have no problem with development work being funded, but an organization > that is founded on volunteers should be able to maintain its core > infrastructure using those volunteers. About this point... I'd mention that we could ponder reimbursing people for doing something either particularly intensive or particularly menial.
