That's important, but the cooperation and endorsement of the present
organization is more important.  I don't think it can succeed outside
the existing framework, for reasons that Terry mentioned.

As he said, outside solutions create their own set of problems unless
merged with the main tree.  If core resisted painful architectural
changes from paid developers, a split would ensue.  That's why at
least some of the core members would also need to become some of the
paid developers.  Either that, or ask some of the present core members
to retire and replace them with paid developers.
