A bunch of developers isn’t going to do anything though if they retain control over everything. I think after learning about this background, and their weird claims surrounding it yesterday, the path forward I would prefer is for a strong fork to emerge of the original code that instances deploy instead.
I prophesied that to happen back on reddit but with FLOSS development culture being as it is pre-emptive forking is kinda considered the same as a pre-emptive nuclear strike. It’s just not done.
I’m about 100% that there’s going to come a make-or break situation where, if the developers don’t concede, there will be a fork, but it could also be that the devs are conscious enough of what’s happening that they’ll cave under the pressure and thus manage to retain some influence over the project.
