That is not quite the right word. For Python, the headcount was moved from the Bay Area (the most expensive place in the world to hire software engineers) to Munich (the most expensive place in Germany to hire SWEs.), for cost saving reasons.
If you're the author of https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/ -- thank you :D
The problem is most SWEs in Germany are not as good as most SWEs in the Bay Area. :(
