I really want to stress that everything I have said thus far about open source sustainability and the origins of the #xv problem are not *solutions*. My proposals are *mitigations*. This is not a problem that can be “solved”. It is a complex of world-historic economic allocation problems that needs to be addressed in the midst of a ton of other parallel and interacting crises. None of these activities will solve the problem, but we must do something — a lot of somethings, actually — regardless.
