There are two very good reasons for people to not use a software's
origin vendor. This is not a reflection of that vendor as it is a
reflection of any software community.
1. The origin is not going to be an expert in every technology
required to run Evergreen. They are an expert *IN* their software
(in this case Evergreen) which is a very different thing.
2. An outside vendor is objective. It can look at code,
architecture, queries, models and say, "Woah... what were they
(whoever they are) thinking here?"
I had just such a moment, and cleaned up large a pile of such problems,
very recently ... odd.
In all seriousness, though, ESI is made up of those "people" of which
you speak. We're no more the "origin vendor" of Evergreen than you are
of Postgres, with PG committers on staff. And, again, you're still only
addressing the "audit" phase, which is important, even critical, but
does little for us Evergreeners five or 10 years from now.
I wasn't directing my comments at ESI. I am certainly no authority on
your company. I was directing them at the ideas you presented.
