We all saw that coming. For quite some time they have been all but transparent or open, vigorously removing even mild criticism towards any decisions they were making from github with no further explanation, locking comments, etc. No one that's been following the development and has been somewhat reliant on min.io is surprised. Personally the moment I saw the "maintenance" mode, I rushed to switch to garage. I have a few features I need to pack in a PR ready but I haven't had time to get to that. I should probably prioritize that.
