There are two ways to look at this:

1) Elecraft, as a company that exists solely to make a profit, is 
something of a failure -- unlike their competitors, they fail to 
monetize new features and improvements to existing rigs.

2) Elecraft exists first and foremost to do really great stuff. 
Engineering runs the shop, and as long as there is enough profit to 
cover the costs and keep everybody reasonably happy (including Wayne and 
Eric), then they're perhaps the most successful Amateur Radio 
Transceiver company since, well, forever.

I think it's #2, and I think it's brilliant.

Wayne said something about "Beer" being part of the decision process on 
new firmware features.  Am I the only one thinking about a Kickstarter 
campaign for the Elecraft Beer fund?
