I feel sorry for the OMIO maintainer community considering how entitled the MinIO community revealed themselves to be.

Step 1: I made this thing and am freely giving it away for the benefit of everyone. Come join the party!

Step 2: Wow, because this is a community project I can depend on it continuing to exist freely thanks to a large base of diverse parties invested in its continued growth and availability.

Step 3: Just kidding, I'm taking back the thing I made. Sorry if you were depending on it, migrate to something else or pay me.

Step 4: WTF dude?!

Step 5: Why are you all so entitled?

They stopped publishing images, not like they changed anything significant about the product itself.

Frankly the whole thing is not newsworthy

> not like they changed anything significant about the product itself

They had already done this months ago, they changed the licence and stripped a lot of the code of their admin UI/object browser. So a lot of the features vanished for people overnight if they updated. This is what the OP is linked to - a fork at the point that they did this. This was work already done, feature already widely in use, they decided to take it out of what was available to the community.

So the product has significantly changed and offering had been reduced. That in addition to the stopping of publishing images - both without notice - caused a decent bit off community 'wtf'.
