We're lucky that dwsteele wants to continue working on this, I'd have equally understood if after 13 years you want to move to something else.
Of course it's a shame that you need to shut down the project in order to drum up sponsors in the first place, but that's a topic that's well been chewed through already.
Sometimes extreme measures have to be taken in order to expose systemic problems in the ecosystem. I personally couldn't work on the same codebase for 13 years but I am thrilled that development will continue. Many open source projects are critical to the health of tech but sadly many are built and maintained by a handful of unpaid volunteers, which certainly can't backfire in any spectacular ways.
