While i am sympathetic to wmf finding alternative funding streams, I do get nervous about these sort of things due to the inherent conflict of interest and incentives to canabalize the free offerings. I'm not saying that is happening now, but will it happen eventually?
Additionally, originally it was promised this would all be open source, and officially they are sticking with that, but it seems like they are going with the model of throwing code over the fence like once a year, which does not really meet my expectations.
