I would be pretty skeptical of anything that is owned by the devdiv division (github, dotnet, etc). It seems like they are still looking for ways to replace the revenue they lost from the classic VS model.

As for anything in the Azure org, I wouldn't be too worriedT They just want to wrap a managed service around an OSS project and call it "contributing to the community". It seems like there was some OSS innovation coming in from the deis acquisition, but years later all msft got from them was the helm dumpster fire, and I believe the founder just left to go to Digital Ocean.

The Kinvolk acquisition is interesting also, but I have a feeling that it will pan out the same way.
