With apologies for the noise in this thread, I think you are illustrating the type of difference in “what the same words mean” that I’m talking about. If I take your claim that “there are a lot of people who are actually fully okay with them” at face value, it is still orthogonal to my previous post.
Even tomberek has argued that he would put the needs of this project over the needs of Anduril.
I still don’t think you will find any particularly deep support in this community for the notion that NixOS should be putting the needs of any company over the needs of it’s own community or project goals. To me, it seems like something analogous to self-sovereignty could be a point of consensus, even if what exactly that means seems to differ for a lot of people.
