When I saw the headline, I was worried they were going to close the project. I never take community-supported projects for granted. They've been here, providing an extremely important product, for decades. The biggest issue (from what I read) is technical debt. It's a huge, time consuming and possibly an explosive mess. They have about a dozen developers providing for the needs of millions of users worldwide. They are working on 20 years of (legacy) code. Even Mozilla had to scrap off the old DNA in favor of new. I am glad this core group remains excited about the project. Ecstatic that they are looking toward the future. Happy that they are taking the time to make their jobs (much) easier in the long run.
