We just can't have nice things, can we?

Just like press freedom is for those who own press, nice things are for those who can buy nice things.

its open source, we can fork .. (i know for such a project it will require a very special group of "we", but in theory .. it can happen)

If you need a fork, I've already done most of the hard work for all of you.

I've been releasing the versions all the way since 1.5.3 and all community extensions.

> a self-contained, signed extension ecosystem

What does this mean? Can I easily sign my own private extensions with my own key?

We are currently allowing unsigned extensions, loading them, then locking the duckdb config to prevent loading unsigned/untrusted extensions

In 2.0 you can sign extensions with your own key and have your own extension repo. Thats the plan at least.

In 1.5 - Haybarn has its own signing key, but its much faster to get extensions released and deployed.

Buying nice things should not be underestimated :)

I'm glad I stuck with SQLite. Governance is an important part of any open source project. SQLite has kept things narrow and focused, while DuckDB's philosophy is to do more and more, making it a general-purpose data science tool. I am old-fashioned in that I believe in the philosophy that software should "do one thing and do it well"
