I think this is not true as a matter of content, and certainly not true
as a matter of how people view the Foundation. Perhaps you don't
remember how completely unresponsive and broken the Foundation was in
the old days.
The largest staff today is: more productive, more agile, and overall
more efficient than the larger staff of today.
I remember the bad old days, I was there. Woefully understaffed, we
were unable to respond to just about any and all requests from chapters,
potential partners, etc.
