I've always been a huge fan of the project (and Troy) and understand that it's gotten to a point where he can't keep running it as a spare-time project, but I'm still not very happy about seeing it being shopped around. I can't see how this type of service needing to find a way to become a business will be a good thing overall, especially when it keeps getting integrated into other programs and services like this. Troy pledges that nothing will change, but every company getting acquired does that, and then things change anyway.
The best result would probably be something like Mozilla buying it and/or paying Troy to just keep doing what he's doing.
