Did we discuss anywhere here the $2 million gift to the WMF made by an anonymous donor, announced recently via the (late) October 2010 dashboard report by Erik "non-violent child pornography does no harm" Moeller?

In your experience, how common are anonymous donations -- of that magnitude -- to any organization? What sort of controversy or attention is the donor seeking to avoid? Will that donor ever be identified (such as on a Form 990 to the IRS)?
