Umm, we didn't?

It did have material impact on Borg.

Sometimes the strategy is simply "we know how to do this, and we'd prefer not to see you go through all the same pain to figure it out".

Timmy!! When will knative and istio be handed over to a foundation? Does LF/CNCF have enough carrots in Jim Zemlin's bag of tricks??

'tis fascinating to dig in to open source serverless on Kubernetes options only to realize that there's probably 100+ engineers working on istio+knative, ~10x more than any prior alternative.

When is KnativeCon coming?

I don't think he's involved very closely.

Since folks get so worked up about allocations unofficially shaping decisions, I suggest[^] that Knative be homed with the Cloud Foundry Foundation, where the rules are written to give votes based on how many fulltime contributors you assign. That way it's all out in the open.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, which is in both the CFF and CNCF. I was aware of Knative relatively early.

[^] in a ha-ha-only-serious way

Tim, I should not have used "all" there.
