Agreed, there are a lot of costs I think the Foundation could cut
before having to do something so drastic. Not that I think they
*should* be cut if we have the money, which right now I think we do.
But if we can't run the servers, I don't think we should be funding
Wikimania at all, much less in exotic locations.
