I might agree with you in theory, but in the specific instance, there were never really two distinct projects. They were artificially maintained as two distinct projects to have an arbitrary “enterprise” project and the community-supported project.

The relationship between FreeNAS and TrueNAS is more like the difference between Fedora and RHEL. Both sponsored by the same company, but the later is the more mature, “enterprise” version.

So instead of having FreeNAS and TrueNAS we’re going to have “TrueNAS Core” and “TrueNAS Enterprise”.

It’s honestly not that big of a shift from a practical perspective.

That sounds more like RHEL vs CentOS, really. ...which is fitting, since those two have also been slowly coming closer and closer to each other.
