Here is what I said in the email that you initially replied to:

"If there are financial concerns, let's continue to go through the 
actual data and see if there is a way to solve them."

I thought a house running from one neighbor's house to another was a 
clear illustration of a *temporary* solution to help someone out before 
they were solvent on their own. No, we are not still using the hose. We 
had to solve the root problem of getting pipe repaired and securing the 
funds / responsibility there before it could be disconnected though. How 
can you not see how this relates?

No one said that in as many words, no. But when it is essentially being 
said that (1) it is able to operate at this time due to support from 
GNOME that GNOME cannot afford AND (2) it should be split off from 
GNOME, then the end result is splitting something off that cannot 
operate on its own. This is equivalent to killing it unless I am missing 
something.
