For feature work, it's "easy" to get contracted for that. Similarly, in big companies, working for months on a feature is something the company can afford. But it adds to the review load, and it might get blocked on complex refactors.

In rustc, Oli had that as well, with many features being blocked on a complex refactor. Another example is the infamous Rust soundness bug that needs a completely new Trait solver. The project for this Next Trait solver exists, but does not necessarily have funding. (Edit: see reply, this is incorrect). Oli says, this is not something we can rely on volunteers for that: they'll just end up burning-out, like others before them. #RustInParis
