It was a hobby recovery project which grew into something more. I feel like people sometimes want to be overly negative or overly critical and contrarian. Should Linus Torvald be viewed with suspicion because of the bad precedent he set when he stated,
> I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.
Of course not. And if one set their goals ambitiously from the outset, they would be accused of being non-humble. There is no path one can follow which escapes baseless and inane criticisms.
> Of course it's ok to change, but you can also consider that as a precedent and take anything they say now with a grain of salt.
One can also criticize failure to change and adapt, and failure to seize and follow opportunities.
