Er, that's basically what the vzw/asbl would be: to support the community. The 
vzw/asbl won't ever *be* the community if that's what you're suggesting. And 
it will certainly not be some kind of governing power over the community.

Just like OSM and OSMF are actually two separate entities, with OSMF 
supporting OSM with infrastructure, fund-raising, organizing a few events etc.
