What the flying fuck?
Indeed. This is what happens when Broadcom shows up.

We’ve invested heavily in vSAN over the past few years, and use or are looking at a few of those tools. I guess ‘were looking at’ is a better term now.
You had a good run, VMware, but apparently it’s fucking over now.
As soon as the purchase was made public the fortune 50 company I work for ran as fast as possible to VARs looking for alternatives. It will take us 5 years to migrate off, but I’ve never seen such a universal desire to jump to another product inside a company this large. Broadcom is universally known to do nothing but milk and kill what they aquire.

These products are not being scrapped, they’re ending perpetual licensing. Broadcom wants all customers under a subscription model to milk the most money out of them.
