env0 founder here. Thank you for your note. Important to mention Gruntwork, creators of Terragrunt and Terratest together with us here. Also, the CNCF/LF will assign some external members to the TSC (technical steerring committee). I honestly believe such a balance (external, Gruntwork, and direct competing vendors), all under a well experienced foundation is the ideal situation.

I think your pushback here is appropriate and valuable. But I also really like their response to it, essentially: Don't trust us, watch us.

This group of people has taken a leap of faith. They aren't asking us to leap with them, they're asking us to pay attention to where they land, and come along if it looks like the water is fine.

I applaud their approach.

I couldn't express it any better, thank you!
