Seen in time to pull back the RIPE Labs article on automating V4LESS-AS with VyOS and spending my end-year holidays re-building my automation on another stack. -.-'

codeowners added in private repo too

The sound of silence, again... and I'm afraid it probably means confirmation. While technically this is compliant with the licenses (it is true what was said that the GPL doesn't require source code to be public, just available to those who get binaries), it loses one of the important advantages of Open Source - the "many eyes" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27s_law

@dmbaturin Just to confirm/clarify, does this mean the public sagitta branches will cease to receive public updates? It will now be impossible to inspect the LTS source code (or, in the case of 1.4 / sagitta, any future updates) without a subscription?

@Apachez: This may be fine for new features, but some bugs may affect just the LTS releases (for example in the ISC DHCP server, replaced by Kea) or it may be necessary to test the fixes in production environment on LTS (or at least unofficial "LTS" rebuilt from source, which was an option for those without subscriptions for some time thanks to the good work of a few community members - it was fun while it lasted) which happens to be the case with one bug I've been working on (T4600). The bug turns out to be more complex than I first suspected, but I've already spent a lot of time on it, wanted to continue but didn't expect new hoops to jump through. I'm still running 1.3.8 from back when I had access (not anymore) and would like to test just changes to the one accel-ppp package without touching anything else that works otherwise, my setup is fairly complex and I'm not brave enough to try even 1.4.0 just yet, let alone rolling/circinus/stream whatever you name it.
