If they write a hack and release it then I'm sure it would be up to standard. With regards to supporting those official hacks, it would be no different to how things are done on vb.com - the staff get to it in turn, but in this case it will be the paid staff doing so.

I doubt they would sell minor hacks, but if they did sell other larger ones, then I'd be glad they were available at a small cost than not at all

With regards to the wages of just one full-time php coder for vB.org, I'm pretty sure they can afford it - remember they are a business making money, this isn't open source we're talking about.
