Comment on MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO

Comments

There are 3 new commits, and the only actually fixes are: Go update and revert to earlier version of console.

But there are a bunch of changes to docs, CI workflows and issue templates. Which is what is the easy part of managing a fork, and I've seen a bunch of forks that ended up only updating readme-s, CI, etc.

I'll have more faith in the fork when the maintainers do actual fixes.

Although, to be fair, getting too aggressive off the bat would be concerning. A clean fork that is bit for bit compatible with the last open source version is definitely an attractive proposition from a software supply chain perspective.

That's a good point. Though I'd still expect more effort from the developer to convince people that they will actively maintain the project after the first 3 months.
