For most of the us, we'll have to take home some bread for the family and thus no one should assume any commitment on most of the open source contributors as they virtually not even get a dime for all the hard work. On the other hand, some large companies make tones of money from offerings based on open source projects. Despite they deem those open source projects as critical, they still don't want to spend a cent on them. I remember there were cases some companies demanded some authors to fix bugs for free quite a few times so that they could fix issues in their production environments. Maybe it's time for the maintainers to throw the towels and take a break. It looks like those so called critical open source projects are not so critical after all.
