That's exactly the idea! The government and companies generally have IT Dept's now, sometimes with a dev team.
Those resources can be geared towards supporting and contributing to open source (that they use internally) instead of giving money to these corporations for shit support and "maybe we'll add the feature you want (but probably not, and we're increasing the cost BTW ^^)"
- Matthias247 5y agothat's a theory. But then those develping departs might be very understaffed and get swamped with feature requests, which means end users might still not get what they want. That happens even for any central tools in the big tech companies, which likely have more resources to work on those. And there's the additional challenge of actually getting contributions landed upsream, which requires work from other maintainers.
