My favorite thing about all of this is that I had just invested a ton of time in understanding MinIO and its Kubernetes operator and got everything into a state that I felt good about. I was nearly ready to deploy it to production when the announcement was released that they would not be supporting it.

I’m somewhat surprised that no one is forking it (or I haven’t heard about any organizations of consequence stepping up anyway) instead of all of these projects to rebuild it from scratch.

You can also just pay for MinIO and treat it like any other commercial dependency, with support and clearer expectations around licensing and roadmap, but forks are a different story: unless there’s a well-funded company or solid consortium behind them, you’re mostly just trading one risk for another.

nothing prevents them from hiking pricing, so expectations are not clear.
