I think both products could even coexist ;-)

SQLlite would be super nice, but we lack engineering capacity right now to get that done.

Fair enough, but developers and sysadmins don't want to choose between two great options. They want one obvious best option and a second option that is good enough and can be made better if option one turns evil.

Sure, there needs to be a „de facto“ OSS player in the space. Let me tell you that is what we definitely aspire to become.

I always think there was not yet the „gitlab“ effect in the identity space.

Gitlab is a great example of what I'm saying. Few use it today but that's probably where we would all go. You know, because we never actually learn the lessons of centralization.
