Cool... if they won, is there now some money to invest in infrastructure or personal to prevent flatpak fuckups?

In light of recent events I'm referencing bullshit like just uninstalling nvidia drivers as part of a messed up upgrade. And the fact that they finally solved it yesterday resulting in download speeds of ~5kb/s for a 100+mb file because everyone and their grandma tried to finally fix their systems at the same time.
