For those where it is a priority or they feel it is then nothing stops them from doing such a project, after all isn't part of open source the ability for one if they have an itch they can scratch it? If people wanting to do such a project want funding, then good on them if they can show the evidence for a need for it to whoever is responsible for the funding. In these times I guess funding won't be handed out unless a real need can be shown to exist.
