I disagree that a "specifically funded project" cannot make "wide-scale
codebase improvements, restructuring and tidying up with a long-term
goal of making it easier to do stuff".
In fact, I believe that a few "specifically funded" projects I have been
working on are making Squid3 code better for doing "stuff". I also see
other developers working in that direction, although I do not know their
business model so perhaps it is purely volunteer work.
