I guess that’s the thing, when I now look at the commits it’s way past what’s reasonable for nest. I see chromium is rolled back in for example, flutter is back in there, everything seems to be getting the bazel treatment, I see a bunch of non publicly announced releases this year… like things are clearly happening on some level in a way that’s not entirely consistent with the idea of a product that is in the midst of a death roll.

Do you think it’s possible that thinking evolved slightly beyond the number of devices shipped in the meantime perhaps?

I’d always been on the opinion of even just assuming they got to a point where the whole starnix linux syscall compatibility layer thing (which is what I see a lot of recent commits pointing towards) to a good point and stopped that it would still make sense in so many use cases that it would have been justified.

It would also change the number of devices shipped question from 1 dying product line to billions overnight which certainly might change the conversation and furthermore would put them into a pretty unique commercial position for more high assurance computing given the security model which would have a lot of follow on effects presumably

Also thanks again for taking the time to answer, you’re right I am genuinely very curious about this.
