As someone who uses NATS, this seems fine to me I think. It seems weird to me that they think they have to leave the CNCF to create BSL extensions though. Does anyone have any insight into that?

My concern is the vague almost weasel words. For all we know (based on that statement) once Synadia gets whatever cleared/cleaned from other contribs, the apache codebase could be 'locked' at that state and won't get updates for 2+ years.

Although, honestly with its current feature set, as long as it gets security updates in the meanwhile and people can contribute bugfixes in a meaningful way, that -could- work.

Buuuut I'm worried that wouldn't be the case because of divergence once the bsl time kicks in...
