the best guarantee I have is that Nuxt is still independent - it's (some of) the core team who are employed by Vercel. you can see this is the case for svelte/sveltekit.

plus, as an open source project, no one _can_ shutter Nuxt. as long as we have a community, we are alive.

from another point of view, any open source project is ultimately accountable to the community, and I think that's especially true for nuxt.

at the end of the day, if sebastien isn't happy with my leadership he can replace me. (and that's _good_ - I wrote about it here: https://roe.dev/blog/governance-and-abuse)

and equally if the community aren't happy with the direction of nuxt, they can always fork it. (and that's _good_)

in fact, I think I'd say that accountability is always good.
