That's fair, and I agree because honestly almost no companies IMO actually know how to build robust FOSS projects outside their own needs, I wouldn't put that totally on one place. It pretty much actually comes down to the engineers, in my experience, and how much they understand the whole thing. It's a big problem actually. But I know what you mean, Buck2 is definitely a Meta-first project right now, since they're still gearing up to replace everything. They've been pretty receptive to me, at least, but it probably helps that Neil has a bunch of FOSS experience (and we have a bit of rapport with each, so that helps), and there's many more people than just him on the job who all seem to want it to succeed! I think a lot of the technical decisions will help it grow better than Buck1 did, too.
