Much ado about "nothing" - Xe Iaso (==Goodbye NixOS)
Not directly related to this blog post but from NixOS discourse forum, a tl;dr from another person about the NixOS drama here :
<span style="color:#323232;">If you’re looking for a TL;DR of the situation, here it is: </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;"> Nix community had a governance crisis for years. While there has been progress on building explicit teams to govern the project, it continued to fundamentally rely on implicit authority and soft power </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;"> Eelco Dolstra, as one of the biggest holders of this implicit authority and soft power, has continuously abused this authority to push his decisions, and to block decisions that he doesn’t like </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;"> Crucially, he also used his implicit authority to block any progress on solving this governance crisis and establishing systems with explicit authority </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;"> This has led uncountably many people to burn out over the issue, and culminated in writing an open letter to have Eelco resign from all formal positions in the project and take a 6 month break from any involvement in the community </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;"> Eelco wrote a response that largely dismisses the issues brought up, and advertises his company’s community as a substitute for Nix community </span>
