This is very sad. RethinkDB is my favourite database engine of all time. I have huge respect for the RethinkDB team - They've put the product above everything else and they've made it accessible to as many developers as possible by making it open source. I think that in spite of this announcement, I will likely continue to use RethinkDB.
