I do understand what you are trying to say, but I think that this fails to be kind to Irvick and the other maintainers of the stage0 project who are actually being quite underfunded (someone like OAI should fund them in the name of security!)

So asking them to pay money is well.. not quite the solution.

What can happen as it often happens, is this, Mold creator created the project, Stage0 found it useful, Mold ports itself to rust, Stage0 now founds it not useful, Stage0 can comment on the new update and be slightly disappointed and comment how they would've preferred to not rust in this particular case for them.

Yes this doesn't prevent mold from changing to rust or anything as it was shown but I guess we can allow the ability for Irvick to drop a comment I guess without saying that's your responsibility while they are just being maintainers of the open source and an underfunded/mostly volunteer one of work at that.

Also, @Irvick, stage0 is extremely cool, I hope that a lot more companies sponsor the work that stage0 contributors are doing. I think that it can help the supply-chain issues that the industry is facing at, and is honestly just a really cool idea and I love reading your comments and thank you!
