@marcan@treehouse.systems @Di4na ideally this would be something offset with some government funding, since it can be said to be part of critical infrastructure.
but we know that doesn't happen.
my comment was more in generic terms, we have far too many "create and dump" projects that are abandoned far too quickly, creating a kind of software pollution in a sense.
I really dislike this idea that when we make something we have no responsibility about it whatsoever.
@falktx@mastodon.falktx.com @marcan@social.treehouse.systems @Di4na@hachyderm.io you can't really say it's a create and dump project when it's been around and been maintained for that long. our needs have also evolved beyond the scope of X11. trying to hold onto legacy software is just going to slow progress
@MoshiBar @marcan@treehouse.systems @Di4na that part of my comment was referring "in generic terms", because it is quite common for smaller projects.
X11 is for sure not small, or a create-and-dump scenario.
in my opinion X11 and some other critical projects/systems should be funded from a global pool, to ensure they keep running for as much as it is doable and practical. but I cant help there...
