Thanks for the actionable input. I would suggest you try to contribute back. From my end I'm happy to support that as reviewer or in advisory capacity.
If multiple folks maintaining private forks were to contribute back, the cost equation was more attractive (you benefit from other contributions at the same time). That's how successful projects work (I happen to contribute to couple of them). I think as part of that we will be able to identify and address perceived difficulties in contributions. There is still the issue that Apex in its current form is hard to adopt (when you put yourself into the shoes of someone who just uses the binaries available here vs. some derivate of former support contract), but putting back enhancements and fixes developed as you go would be a good step forward.
