Upstreaming fixes has always been awesome so you don't need to care for your special snowflake fork, and it just took time, and effort, and so on.
Sure, people who are all in on AI will say "no worries, we will just somehow get all the security fixes from upstream by letting the agent cherry-pick stuff" and I'll just wish them good luck.
Me? Every time I can sunset a personal project of mine and replace it with a tool with a (even tiny) community and trying to improve that over doing everything from scratch, I'm very happy. (The opposite has happened as well, of course, but rarer). Maybe this is different for people who like to create new stuff, build communities, amass fame. I'm the rando who just shows up and collaborates with you for a few days/weeks/years and vanishes again.
