I guess my interpretation of "A lot of people wanted to sponsor or support ongoing development of prisma 1 until the similar functionalities have been developed on prisma 2." was that they had some sort of team potentially ready to go, but perhaps they were stopped by an "open source" license that wasn't a "free license" or whatever.

But yeah I get it, too much of a pain, too unrealistic, etc.

Of course, open source software is not the only thing at risk of this, seems like most modern software gives you little control over what version you use.
