Would it be a too ambitious goal to create the "Haskell Foundation" at
this moment?
It would be a lot of administrative effort - managing accounts, tax
filings, etc. While it would give us more control, I don't think the
benefits would be very significant.

So in my view for now it's best not to go it alone.
