This is good news - CoreOS needs to focus on what's most important to their core business to be successful.

Being chock full of bright, relatively young and enthusiastic engineers drunk on the Golang kool-aid, there's a very real risk of getting distracted by reimplementing everything under the sun in their favorite shiny new language.

Even if Torus is a good idea, CoreOS has to prioritize, commit, and execute. They can't afford too many diversions. This is a competitive space, their opportunity window and runway are both limited, as usual.
