On: IBM nearing a buyout deal for HashiCorp, source sa...

I’m not happy about this but my silver linings are:

1) At least Ellison doesn’t end up with it

2) Consul should tend to bring down the aggregate complexity of IBM solutions just a little bit.

[wmf → hinkley]

I would predict that IBM will cancel Consul and Nomad completely to focus on k8s.

[Axsuul → wmf]

If so, Consul → OpenCabbage, Nomad → OpenNoodle

[wmf → Axsuul]

If the community hasn't already forked it implies that there isn't enough community interest to continue development. We should be skeptical of any "pity forks" that happen later.

[hinkley → Axsuul]

If opencabbage is real, it is very hard to find.

[stuff4ben → wmf]

Maybe. Or they could just completely opensource the projects.

[hinkley → wmf]

It’ll be about terraform won’t it?
