Just so you know, my personal "long-term" plan is to "replace" the banner ads
with Donor Listings for the Foundation. Once we can seriously fundraise for
the Foundation, we can then put mirror maintainers in the Donor Listings,
next to Red Hat and Fujitsu; I'm sure that would be acceptable. And I hope
to be raising enough cash that the $100/month from the paid ads is
superfluous.

However, the Foundation doesn't even have its paperwork yet, so it'll be a
bit.
