I am sure that in some sense many projects are treated unfairly, it is
just a sort of arbitrary unfairness rather than any specifically
targeted.
Clearly D satisfies the "is not a minuscule niche", "has reasonable
mentors", "has projects", "is FOSS", and the fail of "could fund this
some other way". My guess would be the "can be done in 8 weeks by a
student" was seen as the problem for too many of the proposals.
It will be interesting to see if the total number of internships is
smaller to match the decrease in organizations.
