This is not news, and should not reflect poorly on Apache CouchDB. AFAICT, Damien's last commit on the project was 18 months ago, and he is by no means the most active commiter, even on a historical basis.[1] Apache CouchDB's data model is sublime for the domain I often work in, and I think the same goes for a lot of people. It's not just mobile; personally, I don't do anything mobile- or sync-related. I have no plans on moving on.[2] Apache CouchDB is as active and healthy a project as ever AFAICT, and having hosting providers like Cloudant makes the entire model all that more attractive. If it's all about business, then slagging on the project that gave your company its name is perhaps not the greatest approach. Moving on is fine, a fact of life. Making things more difficult for those you leave behind isn't cool, especially when your moving on happened a long time ago.
