From what I understood the company who owns Nginx decided to give CVE ratings to experimental features, but those were for the stable branch. The dev disagreed because they were “experimental” but the company wanted to give them anyway because it was the stable branch used in production.
I don’t understand what was so bad about this direction that the company wanted to take that the dev threw a hissy fit about corpos bad, decided to leave, and start his own fork. It’s an insane overreaction IMO, maybe I’ve misunderstood something so IDK which is why my opinion is that the dev is a moron.
