Hi, I saw a few examples of how corporate employer's emails had a negative influence on the community health and good ideas were rejected. So (in any kind) stating that Apache Project X roadmap can be driven by company Y (or companies Y and Z) it a dangerous thing.
Volunteers will never join the community if everything is decided outside community and nothing they can change here. Eventually, it becomes a fake, non-diverse community, but not real community-driven open source project development. I would not recommend the usage of a project or joining the community if you feel that things go this way.
