The Rust and Webassembly folks:

1. Were a very tiny part of the overall Mozilla budget

2. Were also employees of Moco, not Mofo, and so donations could not go towards them either.

> nobody needs (sorry Rustees)

Industry adoption says otherwise, see for example, the CTO of Amazon's comments during re:Invent yesterday.

(That being said, you could absolutely suggest that it's not Mozilla's job to help the industry in this way. That's a much better argument than "nobody needs Rust.")

Also, the main executive pay people complain about is paid by the Corporation, not the Foundation, so, suggesting your donations would go towards that is also incorrect.

Exactly what I mean, of course.

Thx for clearing that up.
