Sure, I think it matters - if people want to know, I think people ought to know. I know originally Estel wanted to keep some donation amounts unrevealed just in case the large donation amounts demotivated other possible small donations from being made.

I didn't know of any any studies proving or disproving whether or not that would be a significant risk, or whether or not that would be outweighed by effects transparency might have towards motivating more donations, and didn't have the time or desire to investigate just in case disagreement was needed, so I left it at that at the time.

That said, I believe at the time he did express some level of interest in publishing the donations eventually.
