Yes, but neither of those communities actually have terribly special
requirements. In fact, those communities either had *nothing* in
terms
of infrastructure (FreeDesktop/Xorg) or were willing to throw
everything away for GitLab (GNOME). We would not fit in either
bucket,
which makes GitLab a very awkward fit for us.
“Throw everything away”? Just how much of the transition did you
follow?
GitLab was more than accommodating in pulling features out of the
enterprise edition into the community one that were crucial for our
workflows. It was not done on a whim and I really resent your
statements here.
