Webform 8.x-5.x: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?

I wake up super early - usually I get my best work done before 6 AM. Before my house wakes up and I become my kids’ private waffle chef, I make myself a private breakfast with a perfect lox omelette and a pot of fresh coffee. So one Sunday morning, I’m scrambling my eggs and my cell phone rings with a number I don’t recognize. Telemarketers don't usually make 6 AM calls on a Sunday morning, so I answer the call. It was a developer asking me Webform-related support questions. I don't know how to say "No", so I replaced my eggs with my laptop and proceeded to provide free on-call support for the Webform module. This somewhat bizarre interaction demonstrates how some people expect Open-source developers to provide free support. The reality is most Open-source developers are like me, and if someone asks for help, we are going to give it. Still, because Webform module is free to use, it does not mean my time is free. Support is a tangible and valuable commodity.
