One of (or the sole?) developer of MicroG for LineageOS is having financial problems which is slowing down development, or might even stop it altogether. I haven't read it as "I can't do it anymore", but it reminds me of the story of how OpenSSL almost stopped.
I wish there were a way where people could eat and we could also keep these projects alive. No, that's not sarcasm. Donations only go so far, and only so many times. After that, then what?
But anyway, there are ways to donate, if anyone is able:

I was gonna go update my phone, I figured it was because of the new major version release. Turns out it's just one person who is busy trying to keep afloat.
