Can't say I'm deep in this space, but I think there's a lot of sentiment towards going more lean with operations and aiming for direct donation toward Firefox development (which I don't believe is presently an option) which seemingly, if Mozilla narrowed to their core (Firefox, MDN), the community would likely show heavy support. I have my doubts it would fully cover the bill in a sustainable way, but I at least think that's one of the main sentiments.

I'm aware of that sentiment, and I agree that it's misguided and that there's no way that that would cover costs.
