i guess this would be some careful wording, but given the context it doesn’t at all seem like it’s the intention.
for example:
emphasis on that last sentence. lix resolving this “entirely” heavily implies that the CLI sig will no longer be needing help in maintaining a cpp codebase (nix)
this is continued with
this continues the idea of us no longer maintaining a nix fork and moves that goalpost a bit to just a wrapper possibly
i would also like to note the topic this was posted in, which was the steering committee. i feel like if this was just a link to share, it would’ve been posted elsewhere. everything here - at least for me - seems to say “we are no longer forking nix” outside of the occasional “may” or “can”

this also doesn’t address what may be a bigger issue here: the leader of this project quickly suggesting massive revisions to our roadmap after being “extremely hesitant” to any attempt from the community
