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.

Oli says, this is not something we can rely on volunteers for that: they'll just end up burning-out, like others before them.

@Aissen the next solver is funded, but it's a rare example
