@chrisjrn @webology @offby1 @hynek @coderanger re: how do you come back from that… I actually worry less about this. It is an immediate, obvious problem that can be solved pretty straightforwardly, and any corporate sponsor stepping into the gap to cover those bandwidth costs can expect an immediate and significant PR benefit. Picking up long-term engineer salary obligations for a tool that mostly kinda works right now is a much harder sell on every level
@chrisjrn @webology @offby1 @hynek @coderanger also given the immediate brand damage that Fastly would sustain if they pulled their support, I believe the folks that would advocate internally to keep the program running will not have difficulty doing so. It’s probably not *fair* that the reward for years of donations is getting blamed for the immediate crisis in the aftermath of the well running dry, but so it goes.
