Exactly.  Is there a crying need from people who want to donate but fear to
do so?

Short of people living in very repressive regimes (e.g., North Korea) I am
skeptical that there is anyone today who wants to donate to OpenBSD and
can't.  (I suspect people in North Korea have more pressing matters than
supporting the world's premier *BSD, but I digress.)

This is a strange thread.  What I've concluded from reading it:

(1) Some people think OpenBSD should make DVD images in addition to CDs.
(2) In a perfect world with unlimited time/resources, sure.
(3) Given that we don't live in such a world, it's not a priority.
(4) There's no need to spend time/resources on making donations secret
because there is no need to do so.
(5) There's nothing wrong with well-intentioned people bringing up ideas
even if they don't pan out.
