So you're saying that the Foundation should have partnered with a 
completely proprietary service (Lulu), that wasn't interested in 
donating any software or income back to the Foundation? That doesn't 
sound like a very appealing partnership, nor can I imagine the community 
supporting such a decision (especially considering how skeptical they've 
been of the PediaPress partnership).
