I think you are missing the point. You don't get to make unacceptable
changes to Mozilla with money. The point is that with money, you can
accelerate the implementation of your favorite enhancement request *if*
that request is considered acceptable to Mozilla.
If there is an *acceptable* enhancement request, making the
implementation happen is a matter of someone doing the work. If you
aren't doing the work yourself, money can be used to motivate someone
else to work on the (acceptable) feature you want to be worked on
instead of that someone working on another (acceptable) feature. With
money, you can affect the priority of *acceptable* features.
