user-space. That idea grew into a project that over the years includes various
initiatives with the overarching goal of moving from obscure and complex

It is currently a bit of a weird paragraph, I imagine from trying to rework the original text. Basically it reads like, "There is this idea, that spawned a project that focused on the idea", and thereby defines the idea twice slightly differently.

Maybe just keep, "That idea grew into a project that over the years includes various initiatives." And remove the rest of the line. And perhaps update the first sentence to include "open source".
