This is wishful thinking IMO.

What if in 5-10 years the volume is too big to be funded by donations? Will Pika sell to a malicious company? Will it shut down and kill everyone that depends on it?



Well yes, it will probably shut down just like the official python package repo will shut down if it’s sponsors can’t meet the budget. Nothing is guaranteed to last forever.


The difference being apps are actually pointing to the packages in realtime. If the CDN falls the app stops working.
