Have you ever heard such a remarkable phrase as this? "Permanent 'for now'". It rather boggles the mind.
Having worked for the government for a long time, I have become quite fluent in mentally reducing Classic Waffle to plain English. They are talking about a "final maybe" and are leaving a tiny crack open in case money starts raining down from heaven. The sentence should read "We will not publish another paper unless and until someone, somewhere is foolish enough to bankroll our salaries."
