I'm running a couple of Vaultwarden instances, and it would be really nice if Bitwarden employed Garcia to improve the Rust backend. But as the bitter cynic I am, I guess it is an effort to shut down and control as much of the open source use of Bitwarden as possible.

The worst case, someone will most likely fork Vaultwarden and we can still access it with Keyguard on mobile and the excellent Vaultwarden web interface :)

And I am an ardent optimist, hence why I see it as a good thing.

But yes, worst case someone will fork it, and I'll probably use that fork.

Phew, looks good on the news with the packaging bug (if they didn't just got cold feet for worse PR/backlash than they expected and this is a backtracking).

In this case, hopefully Garcia is employed for his expertise and can be deployed to further open source relations :)
