I sincerely don't think the above description is what Kieran meant when he
talked about sustainability at Demuxed, which this thread seems to be a
response to.

I'm happy to elaborate, but I think we're talking about two completely
different things at this point. Spending SPI money is great. But Kieran
talked about *raising* donations from the very companies you (seem to?)
prefer to ignore because of their bureaucracy. If we're talking about
distinct things, we'll likely end up with distinct (and multiple) solutions.
