I totally get the upvote aspect, but wonder if increasing the stakes helps across the board. It is one thing to upvote something, just to upvote it, anyone can do this. Oh this is cool, I'll upvote it. Who knows if they even use it or have real-world experience behind it.

Take the existing roadmap for instance.
There are a ton of things on the roadmap, that have zero impact on how we'd use Enhance. And while I'm sure they'd benefit others, it'll definitely vary from company to company.

high - Entire cPanel server migrations

I'm here now, but sidelined from using this until at least May, 2023 based on roadmap and features. My hunch is that the roadmap is so far out due to lack of resources like money.

Lets say for an example, I pledge $1,000 towards each critical feature listed above. And others are opening to doing the same raising the stakes further and accelerating plans on features we need now vs six months from now.

MariaDB $1,000
Imunify360 $1,000

My thoughts on this:

owners backing up features they really need
getting capital to enhance features upfront to help accelerate development
helps ensure best practices and we're not just upvoting to upvote

Thoughts on this?
