IIRC, one of the reasons cited that CentOS „merged“ with RedHat back then was that a lot of people were using CentOS, but there wasn’t enough money generated to pay the developers. A lot of them were basically working for free. That is never sustainable. At least not for a long time. It’s also not often the case that you can split this kind of work into a thousand work-packages and have everybody just work 1/2 hour a day on it.
