Hi STH! Brett Davis here. I work for iXsystems & the FreeNAS Project. I'm a frequent reader, a lurker on your forums, and I know Patrick personally. I first want to say that I have a lot of respect for this site and the STH community, and I know that many of you are FreeNAS users. I've personally appreciated all the contributions & discussions surrounding FreeNAS and thank you all for expressing your opinions regarding our latest decision to "unrelease" FreeNAS Corral.As the head of Product Management, Marketing, and Sales for iX, I can tell you that I take no issue with Patrick's article. It's accurate; especially the part about this decision being "gut wrenching" for us. We spent a lot of time, resources, and money on creating FreeNAS Corral, and having to admit that we were wrong in releasing it is one of most difficult decisions we've ever had to make; but, I assure you it was made with the user community in mind. Our reputation with our users is everything, and although we are going to take some damage to that reputation here, it was preferable to trying to continue promoting a flawed product.I know that many of you here have spent your valuable time installing FreeNAS Corral, and the STH team has written some great articles on it. That's time you guys can't get back. I completely understand any frustration that caused and offer my personal gratitude for that time spent, FWIW. That time and the valuable feedback on your experiences that ensued helped us make this difficult decision, frankly, so it certainly wasn't for naught. I realize it looks chaotic from the outside, but rest assured that the team here is focused and hard at work on delivering a release you can install and use with confidence.On behalf of the FreeNAS Project and iX, I felt it necessary to chime in on this thread to offer my thanks for all the support we've received from the STH community, regardless of whether or not you choose to continue to support us through this particular situation.If I can clarify anything or you need assistance explaining this to customers, I'm here to help. Or, if you just want someone to yell at, I'm fine with that too
