It seems that people are lately getting suspicious of Jimbos intentions. There are many people, at least I have heard from and of many, that are not too certain that Jimbos stated goals at Wikipedia (free information) and Wikia (a for-profit company) are compatible. Of course, Jimbo has to live and make a living and I don't have any problem. However, it might be time to seperate his duties at Wikipedia and Wikia and cut all ties they may have. I would welcome such a move, however don't believe it to be absolutely necessary.
Would such a move benefit Wikipedia? I doubt it. If we had to choose between Jimbo and Angela working on both projects, or working only on Wikia, we would be crazy to choose the latter.

No no, I'm not saying they should chose - not at all! We wouldn't be where we are without Jimbo. I am saying that the emphasise on the ties should be less, possibly and according to some people.
