- busterarm 1y agoUnless there is some yet-unnamed party with enough credibility and enough money to do a proper takeover from Ruby Central, this was always the inevitable way forward. In my 17ish-year involvement with Ruby, I can't think of one.
- jcmfernandes 1y agoI don't understand why the move wasn't undone. This is essentially kicking the can down the road.
- dash2 1y agoWhen I see opinions like this, I run, not walk, away from the community in question.
- jcmfernandes 1y agoLoved the... argument?
- florkbork 1y agoRight? Why is there (seemingly) no public offer to former maintainers to rejoin, or acknowledgement of wrongdoing having been done as part of this? It's practically zero cost to do that; as the Ruby core team is (largely) not the party that inflicted harm. Politeness? Conspiracy to have done this all along? Cultural differences around public vs private opinions? Something else? What would we think if this wasn't a software project but a hijacked community bus, being passed from party to party, pretending nothing is untoward about the whole situation while the passengers are still aboard? "Oh good, the new bus drivers are politely accepting the keys from the hijackers; all is well!"?
