> sustaining a living project is not

Was not. It's much easier now, with LLMs. E.g. I can easily maintain a fork of a Gnome component instead of dealing with the convoluted motivation of the pricks ruling the project and not willing to merge features because of no reason (e.g. "we won't add tray icon to our app because tray icons are deprecated in gnome. So what there is no alternative, we don't want it" or "no, we won't accept a PR improving mouse navigation because our keyboard navigation is broken and noone wants to fix it").
