    That's a loss — not because maintainers of free software owe anyone commitments, but because the unstated status quo presumes this support. Maintainers will consciously understand that no such obligation exists, but still feel a presure to provide indefinite and unsustainable support. And that dynamic contributes to an extractive open source ecosystem. Author's original Mastodon post - https://fosstodon.org/@donmccurdy/110662029314944366
