There is a massive focus on trying to get Open Source software to the point where governments or big corporations can use them to "increase sovereignty" (which sometimes means a bit of a weird mix of things).
But that can lead to software being pushed towards more and more complex architectures and deployment strategies (think something like a simple collaborative editor needing Kubernetes to be deployable). While governments and certain companies might be able to shoulder that organizational and financial burden this isn't sustainable but wasteful: We should also use the current focus on open source to invest in
- _easier_ deployments
- _simpler_ architectures
- more defined standards to improve composability

The big funding activities can have the effect of just creating more bloated, unwieldy and "enterprisey" solutions when that mode of thinking is exactly what brough on the mess we are in.
