Yes.  But, the SDG still believes that it should use donations for
things like porting the current Swarm to new architectures.  _I_ think
such efforts are, at best, a waste of money or, at worst, unethical.

On the other hand, the Swarm community should express their various
opinions as to what the SDG should be doing.  And if a bunch of them
said their donations should be spent porting to, say, the playstation 3,
then that's what the SDG should do.  In a vacuum, the SDG will just
drink its own Kool-Aid.
