What do you think are the primary challenges for Open Source the coming years?

Security? CRA? Financing? Maintainer burnout? Recruiting young developers? Adapting to a country-former-ally going nuts? AI slop? AI bot overload? Something else?

(I'd like some more food for thoughts for an upcoming talk)

As part of that, the Internet may be split into per-group networks. All of this will kill off the international collaboration that's underpinning large, successful open source projects, and many small ones, too.

I hope I'm just being pessimistic.
