The strategy process is still ongoing and there are a number of proposals for adverts. I don't sense they're going to get any traction this time. But if the WMF severely lacked funds in future years I imagine everyone would start considering them.
Yeah, that's probably a wise position for them to take.
Incidentally, first hand anecdote that different advertising messages work for different people. Was cruising on the French wikipedia and there was an ad with a big progress bar, showing the total number of articles at 12 million (I assume cross all projects), heading towards 25. I was like "yeah, I'd donate to make that happen!" :)
