Look, I run a 'small' company, most of our RaQs are less than two years
old, and many are less than one year old.

I expect the lifetime of a product to be more than one or two years.
so I am looking for a way to extend the lifetime.

And it MUST be an open-source solution. I don't want to be in the same
boat again. And I will not sign up for some subscription service for $xxx
/ year, and again wait for them to do something.
