About the future of Seafile

Disclaimer: I'm in no way associated with Seafile in China, but found it worthy to point out the origin of (good) software coming out of a country largely misunderstood as a low-quality cloning epicenter.
They could have just said "We are ending close cooperation with upstream because they move to fast/dont provide the stability we need as a service provider using the platform"
Over the last years working with Seafile Ltd. has proven more and more difficult. Our cooperation now has reached a point where we can no longer in good conscience develop a software together.
Our goal at Seafile GmbH is and has always been to provide a stable and reliable product for our customers and the Open Source community. We have been disagreeing for a long time with
- the current development race,
- erratic changes of public plans,
- beta testing on paying customers,
- removal of features without proper prior notification or migration plans and
- disrespect towards data privacy when it comes to German or European law.
(that last bit is surprising...)
