I don't see how that follows. Dedicating a single node is trivial. If you're talking about redundancy, nobody's going to steal your leader election code. That's why the feature gating feels arbitrary.
- eropple 8y agoSorry, maybe I was unclear. I don't want to have to support it in the open-source version ("I tried to run it on three DigitalOcean droplets and I didn't read the instructions and it's all sad" is just a time sink) and I do want feature incentives, in addition to support guarantees, to encourage corporate users to support the project. I want to align the financial incentives to maintain this software; features are part of how that can be done. At commercial scales, companies do need support. But support is hard to quantify by itself and feature gates provide additional arguments for buying the software and helping to ensure that the project survives and is maintained.
