"Dependent" suggests a necessity is being fulfilled, and that's the point of my comment. We're past necessity. Both Mozilla and Wikimedia are already bringing in several times over the amount of cash they need to operate.

AIUI, both organizations have plenty of worthwhile projects which are constrained by available funding. They're not just maintaining a web browser + hosting an encyclopedia.

Of course, this is not to say that funding the Archive isn't also important.

Yes of course.

But both projects' biggest constraints are not (lack of) funding. It's bad mismanagement, or in the case of Mozilla, really bad mismanagement.
