Nix package manager: correctly resolves dependency hell for your entire OS.
Nix governance: still hasn't resolved dependency hell for humans apparently.
but the dependency hell for human is inherently political
will nixpkgs still get updates? how will maintenance work (i am not familiar at all with the nix ecosystem so maybe this is a dumb q)
Maintenance and updates will continue as usual. The maintainers formerly on the nixpkgs core team aren't even stopping their individual contributions.

Honestly after seeing the last election results I knew bad things were coming. The worst of the drama instigators managed to get elected.
If you read the post, you may notice it has nothing to do with election related drama, and everything to do with unpaid community leadership roles leading to burnout
I did. And half the post was them talking shit about the SC. Maybe you should read the post?
Why is the Nix community such a dumpster fire?
Because people who do good work get attacked left and right and noone steps up.
