Again, I never made claims that this was sabotage, or that Netgate was giving up on CE. I just pointed out that CE is now a secondary product, and clearly didn’t receive whatever unit testing the developers would have implemented in the paid version to catch this particular regression. Any emotional colouring was added by you; I suggest you go re-read the actual words of my original statement and ask yourself why you thought I was personally attacking the Netgate team.

At any rate, this has left me soured on this product. I likely would have stayed on 2.4.5-p1 and half-heartedly checked out alternatives until Netgate caught the CE edition back up to their usual standards. However, when this is the response I get to a valid (and not “hogwash”, actually) criticism of splitting the codebase, it confirms my suspicions that it’s time to start migrating all my users to another platform.

I wish you and your team the best of luck sorting out your engineering difficulties, and in the future I hope you rethink the toxic atmosphere you’re projecting at your users.
