This is the correct assessment. This is not up to the open source community or individual projects to "figure out", any more than its up to me to figure out how not to get spam email.

Yeah well, our corporate overlords have decided that you're going to take your slop whether you want it or not, so its very much up to us to figure out. Capitalism isn't going to jump off the disaster train any time soon
