Can you expand on the high points from your perspective? Thanks.

It's the most straightforward change from a community and development perspective, and it's got most of the core developers.

As I understand it, linux has dependencies on Redis. Since redis licence change, that can't work so linux needs an alternative. Linux foundation made a fork of redis named valkey, which was instantly backed by most of the Core maintainers, and many large companies (AWS, GCP, Oracle, Snap). So it seems obvious that this fork which will be part of linux dependencies, has backing of big corps and core maintainers isn't going anywhere and is likely the 'new redis'. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-launches-open-source-valkey-community https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-launc...

  Are you saying Linux, the kernel, has a dependency on Redis? That is not true.

    Apologies, I was poorly paraphrasing this article: https://lwn.net/Articles/966631/ https://lwn.net/Articles/966631/ Which mentioned a few instances of distros having dependencies: https://lwn.net/ml/fedora-devel/CAEg-Je_GoiJN6kOj1_K5WqTvA6n0j8r4fi9=C7-WbXLHovM3ow@mail.gmail.com/ https://lwn.net/ml/fedora-devel/CAEg-Je_GoiJN6kOj1_K5WqTvA6n... https://lwn.net/ml/opensuse-factory/AB7886BD-E33E-4ACA-8F94-AA4A1B1FECDB@opensuse.org/ https://lwn.net/ml/opensuse-factory/AB7886BD-E33E-4ACA-8F94-...

  Linux depends on Redis? Do you mean the foundation uses it to serve some marketing sites or it's part of some build farm/infra or something?

  The Linux Foundation was a natural home for the new OSS project - there's no Linux dependency on Redis.

I don't have many points to consider, that's the root of my comment. The only point I can think of is that a project is a result of its people. And Redis people are now Valkey. Thus, for me, the word Redis is a deprecated word that in past meant what is now named Valkey.
