      Netgate to be the mature ones here and show they are adults

      Yup. Two ways to see this. Leadership didn't review the blog post in the context of the other chatter going on or they did and approved it. Not good either way.

      [Edited: someone had the good sense to pull Scott Long's last blog post down]

      Takes just a moment to break trust. Takes a long time to regain trust once lost.

      Netgate isn't going to miss me. I've not spent money with them other than one $100 gold when that was a thing. I'm not going to say they are going to loose revenue generating business, but I will say this isn't going to generate any business for them. I wish them luck. A lot of the people on their payroll are good people and I hope for a good outcome for them.


      I already have a multi-layer switch (catalyst 1000-24p-4x) and I could use my current gateway HW for DNS/DHCP and VPN server plus other things in VM's. Maybe get an ISR 931? I'd do it just to learn. It wasn't that many years ago I was still using consumer networking gear. AirPort Extreme...

      We'll see. I need to let this soak for a while...

        Netgate is pissed off and they have good reason for that. But is there really something to learn (in a good way)? I doubt that.
        We can only hope, that something better comes out of this, a compromise.

          Someone at Netgate had the goodSense(tm) to pull down that last blog post.

              Uh, nope. Check again. Blog is back up. Technical difficulties cited. Maybe they like that hill?

                      @heper point in fact the “new one” has nearly all the code of the “old one”, but you wouldn’t know it for the marketing, right?

                      (Point in fact the old one was based on the openbsd one. And this is how open source works, right?)

                        @jwt is/was this reply intended for someone else?
