The core dev ire has nothing to do with the changes, it has everything to do with their response to descent. To speak to people with valid criticism with derision is what make people call Core devs "shills" or "dumb" or whatever. You can see how someone pointing out a conflict of interest is a valid criticism, right?

To be clear some of it is mindless inflooencer "Fuck Core" drivel. But that's commonplace in social media. going on about the customer/service provider dynamic differing from open source project is a red herring.

The analogy would be people Open-sourcing a physical vault design. Then the major supplier introducing a vulnerability and saying "you don't pay us so you don't get a say in what vulnerabilities we introduce." While yeah, you can't be forved, speech is speech and the point is if you have a logical rebuttal people will side with you. But, what does a mass exodus tell you? That your counterpoints are not compelling.

Either way, if you bring more freedom to Core, I say join them and make core greater!
