      Do you have some links to read up on that? I saw the Nix stuff. And the Home Assistant devs seem pretty alright to me. Sometimes they make decisions which I don’t understand. But I’d like to know what kind of internet drama surrounds this…

        This isn’t the very beginning, but a lot of the discussion can be read here - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185

      He alone has behaved like a child, dragging his end users along with him in his over-reliance on one failure point for his entire distribution system

      Yeah, this is exactly as expected. Someone with poor engineering skills finding themselves in a position of power and making sure everyone knows they’re king of the hill. See this kind of thing all the time unfortunately :-(
