Weird take IMO. I don’t trust MS and strive to stay away from their products where possible. Their acquisitions of a lot of OSS stuff make that pretty hard these days, though…

But I find it weird to expect perfect decision making out of an organization with hundreds of thousands of employees with a global influence. I don’t know any individuals with perfect decision making skills, so when you take the union of that and add hierarchy, I certainly wouldn’t expect a system of perfection. Especially when perfection is defined by some relative/personal standard.

I agree with your opinions that Microsoft will do weird stuff going forward and that this decision means nothing. It’s also irrelevant to me since I don’t use .NET for absolutely anything.

But if your “trust” in an org is based on them not making “terrible decisions”, I think it may be impossible to actually trust any org. Since inevitably at scale every org will make bad choices. Not criticizing you, just thinking out loud.
