Was Linux owned by a large company? Was the maintainer getting paychecks from that company? Was it profit motivated? Was it released as an AI experiment?
If the similarity is "they are both open source projects" then so are about a million others. 99.99% of them don't get any traction beyond the first week.
what if we all move to vinext? I'm asking claude to migrate us in a git worktree using a team of agent, installed the vinext skill to help with that, it did it in 10min
also why do you need support? agents are the support

Do you think Linux doesn't do long-term support right?
The one changing the goal post is you.
https://github.com/cloudflare/vinext It is MIT licensed. It can be used and maintained by anyone.
If it'll get adoption like Linux did, that's different. But the base is there.
For all I know Linux started a hobby project from one person.
So entertain me if you disagree.
