Does this mean that this list and/or your nginx.org dies on 31 December 
2024?

I have tried to follow F5 and nginx internal differences for some time. 
Maybe I should have seen the creation of freenginx as "writing on the 
wall."  I, like some or many of my colleagues, will not migrate to 
github (maybe has some good points, but destroys your "named corporate" 
identity.)

What is the position of major (Redhat, Canonical, etc) Linux 
distributions?  Can we rely on continuing reliability?  What "free" 
and/or "paid" licensing agreements are you planning?

Many of us use nginx only as a reverse proxy.  It's fast and efficient. 
I flat out refuse to get into politics, but your announcement is not 
re-assuring.  Do we need (fast? before year end?) a fall-back position?

Thanks -- Paul
