Does anyone know if Google plans to sunset the entire Flutter framework over time? Since they fired just about everybody internal who was working on it, I don't have a lot of confidence that Flutter will still have any Google support in 3-5 years. Has anyone talked about forking it and putting it under an independent foundation to ensure its long-term viability? Given Google's track record of long-term support for its various technologies, it would be a shame if Flutter got consigned to history's scrap-heap prematurely.

What? No one in the Flutter team got fired. The only ones who potentially had something to do with it were people on the Google Cloud team that ran the pipelines for Flutter builds, but even then, they didn't directly work on Flutter, and their roles just got outsourced anyway to Europe, so it's not like Flutter itself was actually affected.
What the fuck are you talking about? This literally never happened.
