All these arguments are valid for GSOC too though.

It is very strange. Haiku Inc. can get involved in funding decisions for
contract work, but not for bounties?
I just wanted to try to show that major corporations with a lot more money
than Haiku Inc. use this method, and it can be successful.
I don't understand how it hurts to publicize a different way of fundraising
and work. It is just a bonus if someone applies. I believe it was you
yourself that admitted that you would consider bounties if they were
attractive enough - so make them attractive enough. Only Haiku Inc. can
make these decisions.
