> Following the announcement of my resignation, Canonical decided to pull LXD out of the Linux Containers projects and relocate it to a full in-house project. That’s the news which we announced last week.

So is this like retaliation? Or an effort to reduce Stephane's influence over LXD? Or was it just that he'd been the one who pushed for developing LXD in the open, and with him gone they figured 'why bother'?

It was always pretty clear that something would have to get adjusted the day Stephane left the company, because it's a major project for Canonical and Stephane preferred to run some of the infrastructure himself. From his own comments in the forum:

"In theory Ubuntu Discourse should be more reliable in that it’s run by Canonical IS who has a 24/7 team of people looking after services unlike this forum where I’m the one running the infrastructure and dealing with outages."

Nothing is changing about how in the open LXD is developed.
