Proposal to create a Zcash Ecosystem Fund directly funded by the Founder's Reward

In addition, baking the specific FR distribution into the consensus protocol doesn’t sound like a good idea from a technical or opsec perspective to me. Currently, the FR destination address changes every month (the 48 addresses over the 4 years of FR are fixed in advance). The operational security requirements imposed on the direct FR recipient are pretty substantial, since the FR addresses can’t be changed except by an emergency network upgrade. Adding new direct recipients would be imposing those opsec requirements on all of them, since each direct recipient would still be a juicy target.
