I think it probably can't be pounded home anymore, because the  
difficulties of forking a large project these days are understated  
these days.  (You can fork content, but forking decently performing  
infrastructure is much harder, given the growth in our audience.)   
There are reasonable arguments to be made against advertising, but I  
don't think the "fork" argument holds any water. (I guess if it did  
that would make it a "spoon" argument.)

We're a long way from even considering this sort of option.
