No offence taken. My suggestion doesn't even reflect my own
convictions (which don't including /anything/ members-only), which
probably explains why I suck at determining where to draw the line.

This was merely a (possibly flawed) suggestion to potentially increase
the sustainability of the testshib service, given that -- as Nate
claims and I'm sure is correct -- it's so essential to so many
people/companies.  I.e, if that's the case maybe those users should be
given the opportinty to contribute to its availability.
Maybe a donate button would do.
Maybe just ignore me talking about funding.
