sure nlnet has more ambitions than "new features". but u cannot deny that nlnet doesn't fund maintenance in general. which means funding someone 2 review unspecified patches, fix random bugs, fight bitrot in general and possibly maintain code to adapt to an ever changing 3rd party interface.
but seriously, when i scroll through the ngi0 projects, how many of them don't fit the description "new features" in a broad sense? sure they also fit nlnet ambitions
