I did not. I said that the signal noise ratio has to be improved. I explicitly used the word "revamp". I know, hyperbole <= hot head => low reading comprehension.

Sure, if that is the blocker, funding them more is fine by me.

Yes, shutting it down is completely fine by me, letting some other database take its place. It has a chance to be better.

I very much intentionally criticised their work - I think the CVE system (the way it runs today) is garbage. You proposed a solution to this situation involving increased funding. I am fine with that solution. Just like I am fine with the solution "nuking it and starting afresh".
