What if the Foundation decides to just organize OPW, which is already a
good contribution, but doesn't sponsor itself interns? By doing that,
the saving permits to spend the $10k or $5k on something else, like
sponsoring an experienced member of the Foundation instead of sponsoring
newcomers.

For example when a Friends of Gnome campaign (like for the accessibility
or security) is finished, the Gnome Foundation could add $5k to it.
