A successful Exit to Community is a positive thing overall. But this does make me concerned about the future of the existing OpenCollective platform.

Reading between the lines, it seems like the classic 'dump insufficiently profitable service on non-profit'. Netscape Navigator being dumped into the Mozilla Foundation was the first example, but we've seen many since; Goggle Wave and OpenOffice being left on Apache's doorstep, Sandstorm.io moving to sandstorm.org, and so many others.

OTOH this seems like a genuine cell division, allowing different factions of the founding crew to pusrue different visions. So I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of both projects.
