Its especially wild given how their action in pulling funding seems to have been a prime motivator for this power grab: in their attempt to boycott DHH, they quite literally handed him the keys to the kingdom.

It does imply an option here. For the affected ruby gems core team to strike up a sponsorship agreement and launch a forked ruby gems service. For developers who agree that the original team was treated terribly, it’s a one line code change at the top of our Gemfiles to get behind a new gem repository.

A "boycott" assumes voiced opinions, and I don't think we have anything public about why Sidekiq stopped sponsoring.

We assume it's linked to DHH because he's an asshole, but that's just our own theories.
