One of the main reasons to donate a project to a foundation, such as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is to protect the community against this type of rugpull. A requirement for them to even consider adopting a project is that it isn’t under majority control of one single commercial entity.
Do people honestly believe none of these projects compete with commercial solutions, or are they mostly oblivious these exist at all?

- pjmlp 3y agoA better measurement would be how many of those projects are still relevant in 10 years from now.
- thinkmassive 3y agoFrom today, or from when they first joined? Also consider that a project needs to not only have existed, but to already have an established track record of being vendor-neutral before it can join. Kubernetes joined CNCF on March 10, 2016. Prometheus joined May 9, 2016. In 2017, these 10 projects joined: - Linkerd - gRPC - CoreDNS - Containerd - rkt - CNI - Envoy - Jaeger - Notary - TUF Of those 12, only one (rkt) has been archived. Do you honestly believe the majority of these will be unsupported 10 years from now, let alone 10 years from when they were added (or started in the first place)?
- pjmlp 3y agoNow remove the ones with FAANG funding.
- thinkmassive 3y agoI’m not seeing the relevance. If you’re going to move the goalposts, you could at least explain why.
- pjmlp 3y agoThe whole point that I failed to fully express on my sentence, was how many of those projects are still relevant in 10 years from now, without the funding of commercial entities.
