I'm curious what's driving the resurgence in interest authorization infrastructure, particularly the Zanzibar paper. As founder of Oso (https://www.osohq.com/), I have my own opinions, and I think this is a good thing. But would love to hear others' points of view here.

It’s so tempting to make some snide remark about it being cancelled.

It might be. Notice that it's only been in use for about 3 years. The difference is you don't tend to upset users due to underlying infrastructure changes.
