I have some thoughts about FOSS sustainability and burnout.
If we want projects to be a part of the commons to encourage the commons to join in, they need to be able to afford to.
TLDR: We need universal basic income. Our current systems can't cover everything.
If we want to prevent maintainer burnout, we need better support structures. Which isn't going to happen with anymore Orgs set up specially.
