Thanks for the response and calm rebuttal :)

I realise GitHub’s graph isn’t necessarily fully representative, but one personal concern is that I don’t know yet how long-term many of these new contributors will be.

That said, I also do applaud the efforts to build a community-driven fork in a similar vein to OpenTofu (which does seem to have critical mass now), and from the sounds of what you’re saying OpenBao is heading in the right direction too.
