Organizations with specific needs can still pay developers consulting
fees to fix their problems. 

Indeed, short of having money in surplus and no specific needs (i.e. for
reasons of altruism) I fail to see why I, as a corporation, would give
money through OSGeo instead of just paying someone to scratch my itch
directly (you know how just rubbing your back through your t-shirt is
never quite satisfactory?).

That said, Chris, I still think it's good idea, and I have probably
overlooked something that makes it more attractive. Edumacate me :)
