This isn't a business concern, and as a committer and ASF member you should be able to discern the difference.

The only reason business names came into it is that someone drew a false equivalence between two businesses. They're not equivalent, and the lack of equivalence likely explains why this thread keeps bouncing around - Datastax would have written a patch and contributed it to the project, and Scylla didn't. But again, the lack of protocol changes so far ISN'T because the project somehow favors one company more than the other (it doesn't), the protocol changes havent happened because nobody's submitted a patch. You're a committer Mick, if you think it belongs in the database, write the patches and get them reviewed. Until then, the project isn't going to be bullied into changing the protocol without an implementation. - Jeff
