| (This is from december and was covered in various places then) SCALE was always the main future - that has been totally obvious to all customers at this point.
It was also obvious there would be some point they were going to either merge them or maintenance mode Core. Part of this seems like there are people think that "no new features = EOL", whereas it's usually "you get nothing = EOL". ixSystems is basically guaranteeing support for Core until the users disappear, which is all someone should expect here. Unlike most companies, TrueNAS has published roadmaps and the bugs associated with features on those roadmaps.
See here: https://www.truenas.com/docs/truenasupgrades/
They are pretty clear about everything, and you can see there are no major version upgrades planned for Core and haven't been for a while - just another stable release. Overall this just feels like "Some people are upset that they wanted to believe ixSystems was going to develop two completely separate products forever, one which used their preferred OS, despite all available evidence to the contrary". ixSystems has been clear they will support Core until the userbase isn't worth it anymore. Some people seem to have confuesd support with "innovate and move forward". |
Yeah, the more recent discussions are far more relevant and informative.
Thanks
