Nothing is solely up to the foundation. Plenty of people have made it
clear they would leave/fork if adverts were added to Wikipedia. If the
foundation wants to continue to have projects to host, they need to
listen to what their users want. They understand this, I think it very
odd that so many users seem not to.
