Thanks for laying it out. One thing I would like to ask though is, how can I help? I don’t have the time to really be a core contributor there (my efforts are probably best kept concentrated in DiffEq), but there’s gotta be something I can do? Fixing compile times is quite important to me so I would like to offer myself as an extra set of hands who knows packages which take a long time to compile. I opened [Understanding the compile times of DifferentialEquations.jl and Attempting to Help](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/understanding-the-compile-times-of-differentialequations-jl-and-attempting-to-help/17628) to get feedback but haven’t gotten any. Hopefully there’s a way to decrease the burden on the few compiler workers in order to better distribute the work and get it done!
