Why though? What do you forsee the issue being with where the money could be going?

If Jason is recommending a way to donate to the project, who cares where it goes? If he puts it straight in his pocket and uses it to buy pizza or a computer game, it's still serving its purpose as far as I'm concerned. I have donated, and will do so again, and I'm perfectly happy with the money being used that way.

In a sense, for me, it's a thank you for the work thus far, not an payment for more work.

I imagine many see this differently, so I'm interested to hear some other opinions.
