bitnami rug pulling the entire k8s ecosystem isn't talked about enough. it's one thing to shift to a new model, it's another to just dunk all existing images out of existence.

honestly would be hilarious to create a server only rsc framework. I think that would genuinely get some people converted. then they'd add htmx and find it wonderful. and eventually, they'd rub up against the client component wall and realize "oh right this is why the holistic solution exists"
