Hi! I've been following this project and the issues therein for quite a while now. I've been noticing a disturbing trend lately, where old developer @dlorenc constantly comments on issues purely in order to drive users to Wolfi (which he has a direct financial interest in being the CEO and all). I get that this user was one of the original creators of distroless, but this seems extremely unethical to me given that Wolfi is directly competing with distroless and this serves to drive users away despite the fact that what they want is typically possible in distroless (and those users may have contributed PRs and other fixes if they had used distroless instead). Could we clarification from repository owners on whether this kind of marketing behavior is acceptable and if not get this user warned?

Issues where @dlorenc showed up to shamelessly plug their companies products (as they themselves admitted in the first issue)

I've talked to the existing maintainers here about this and they're fine with it. This project isn't designed to support external users or feature requests, while wolfi is.

We all still work together on lots of other projects and I hope to one day merge this project with Wolfi. There's nothing underhanded going on here.

In the cases where distroless is limited by its scope or design, I don't see an issue with any image vendor providing a meaningful alternative.
