The other thing to realise is that we get almost no donations at all.
Its easy to put up a road-map, but its hard to put up a road-map unless
developers commit; and developers who are all working for free aren't
really able to commit to everything.
The majority of the Squid development over the last few years has been
driven by specifically funded projects. This has the advantage of getting
work done, but the disadvantage that stuff is really just pushed in
to get the work specification done (and thus get paid) rather than
what I believe should happen - wide-scale codebase improvements, restructuring
and tidying up with a long-term goal of making it easier to do "stuff".
We just seem unable to get funding for "making the codebase look better".
