@jezdez Yeah that's true and worth remembering, the Astral devs have been generally pretty good participants in the community so far. But that's mostly because it's been part of their jobs to be good participants in the community, and I think a lot of people are skeptical that that will continue being part of their jobs once the acquisition takes effect. We'll have to wait and see.

@diazona @jezdez yeah - very grateful for all the work they've done - will continue to use and fork if necessary. This doesn't surprise me too much. I think the "Frontier AI Labs" are looking around and realizing their core product is heading towards fungible commodity so they need to look for other ways to build a monopoly moat around their code generation business. Purchasing the leading python toolchain seems to be a no brainer.
