It's really bizzare. You can see the freenas dev team on social media touting features and saying it wasn't canned --- when the official announcement says as much.
I don't think they understand that what the community here and elsewhere isn't bemoaning the death of 10.0. I know I'd be happy to use either code base. I'm just mad that we've invested throw-away time at work. There's no way they did community outreach. It looks silly that a major site in this space like STH is publishing a yay corral article in the AM then saying it is a dead project --- which be clear it is --- in the PM. Don't most companies reach out to key media and influencers before an announcement like this?
Judging by the reaction of the freenas staff on the interwebz, they need some leadership badly.
