Now, I know your underlying point is that we should be reducing that 95% to, well, some lower number. But I think we've seen that - barring some standout exceptions (Sourcehut, Gleam, SerenityOS, etc.), it's *culturally* extremely difficult, borderline not possible, to fund developers at reasonable rates for FOSS. It's been, what, 7-8+ years since the fiasco with NPM post-install notices asking for donations that got shut down?
