I didn't know about these problems until now and this article didn't tell me anything besides that there are issues in the nix community. It's a bit like long

  This seems to be the new way people have decided to discuss polemic topics about their projects: avoid all mention of specific disagreements or god forbid people, and be as vague as possible about everything. Remember the Rust polemic where the entire Rust moderation team resigned? I was following the debate at the time and could barely understand what the actual problem was... only after reading A LOT of arguments in multiple websites I was able to kind of understand what was going on (here I am being vague myself, ha! If you know what that was all about, please comment, I don't feel like I can do it properly). What is this all about? Is it a particular person, or organization, being a troublemaker?? Is it one event? Many? Do you think your project's internal politics are some kind of "state secret" or what?? And by the way, why do Governments have so many secrets anyway!?!?! You've got to be up to no good to want to keep everything bloody hidden! For goodness' sake, just spit it out!! We can handle the truth.

  As far as I can tell the core issue is that one of the larger corporate users of Nix is a US defence contractor called Anduril. Anduril were one of the sponsors of the 2024 NA NixCon, which is a official conference run by the NixOS foundation. The acceptance of this sponsorship has caused some conflict.
