Yes the feedback was invaluable, but note the comparison. Storage nodes and RHQ in general had well-defined priorities around it. The things being discussed here no long have well-defined priorities. If maintaining this stuff for the sake of growing the community is reason enough, then why aren’t more of the former core RHQ devs still actively contributing to RHQ? The reason is very simple. It is no longer a priority.
