The Docker corporation deleting open source organizations from their free-of-charge service, the Docker Hub, is an example of the maxim "centralized systems are evil or vulnerable".
In this case, the vulnerability is relying on a centralized system's willingness to continue to provide a service for free. Building on top of that was always risky.
What other centralized systems are you relying on, ones that might go away at any point?
@liw I was always a bit wary of Docker Hub; it just seemed to wrap everything in business-speak. Nothing wrong with that in itself, I thought, but maybe a red flag? Well, as it turns out, maybe it was…
I feel the same way about NPM (Javascript). FWIW.
@fishidwardrobe @liw Pretty happy with the historically decent behavior of Sonar with regards to Maven Central.
