bitcoin.org pool?

Why doesn't bitcoin.org simply start their own pool with a say 3-5% fee this way all development could be sponsored even bounties could be voted for (pie in the sky) with money coming from bitcoin.org.

Bitcoin is more free market oriented then that.  We have a pretty good choice of pools now with more on the way and the option of solo as well.  We could have bitcoin.org donations but then we would need someone to manage them.

It will be interesting to use donations to sponsor Bitcoin on Google Adwords
But there also other possibilities, like paying freelances to add features to Bitcoin ...
