The budget is open for discussion, but Haiku Inc. certainly won't annoy
all of our contributors with every little payment it has to make.
Haiku Inc. manages the funds, and it definitely has the authority to
use them. It acts on behalf of the contributors, though, and will
certainly not do anything that they don't want.
That's also why it's important to make this process as transparent and
open as possible, which is what Matt has put in a lot of effort to make
that happen.
