#2To still use flutter in the name when your project is called flock seems beyond misleading.

#3> What do you do if the team won't work on that bug for 2 years? Well, if it's a serious bug for your company, then you stop using Flutter. You don't have a choice. You need to keep moving forward. Your team doesn't know how to work on the Flutter framework, and the Flutter framework team is either unresponsive, or at least completely non-committal towards a fix.
Are there no escape hatches?
Re: We're forking Flutter
#4Very sad article to read. I just expect the original Flutter will now die a slow death. I applaud the effort and hope they will be able to find a monetization model that works to support the development. There have been similar projects based on technologies that Microsoft has killed (Silverlight -> OpenSilver and various .NET-based cross-platform technologies) that serve their customers well. Unfortunately, none of them are in any way "mainstream" like Flutter is today.

#7They estimate there are one million Flutter developers/users. Have I been sleeping under a rock?

#8Flutter is truly a piece of great tech with remarkable quality and value. I hope the right path will be found.
I think companies using it for commercial purposes (like what we're doing) should contribute something to the effort to help make sure Flutter not only survives, but flourishes.
Bug bounties, supporting individual developers, supporting efforts and initiatives, professional services, or any other way that helps the project move forward will be great.

Better than using a distinct name for a mostly-identical project or effort (looking at you, MariaDB).

I was wondering the same. How many Android developers are there?!
