Michael, I am just trying to solve a problem here. I don't believe I've got 
the best solution. However, to get to your objection... somewhere in this 
thread, I discussed about relaxing this constraint. I said "maybe we could at 
least guarantee the feature will be *worked on*".

I'm sure a good compromise can be found.

It about giving incentives. The problem is that I want to donate for a 
precise feature. Otherwise I won't donate. I want a bit of control over how 
my money is used. This makes all the difference IMHO.
