That's pretty much how I'd see it too. I would like to see WP ad-free
forever but it does seem a little unwise to tie your hands using that
banner.

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.
