That¹s the same thing we saw... Everyone wants SS7 but no one wants to help fund it... And to make matters worse just getting proper documentation for ANSI SS7 is not exactly a cheap endeavor. Unfortunately telecordia and crew still want to charge thousands of dollars for the docs when the ITU decided ages ago to make those available for free... Even then its still a substantial amount of effort to get something working (even if you have active links you can use to help understand whats going on)

No one will support you starting to write a SS7 ++ stack, but once you get going and the first stacks turns up, so will business.

In a situation like this, commercial sponsors can pool resources for certification. Obviously anyone using a modified version would not be using certified code but the sponsors who pay for certification would still get multiple benefits.
