Where is the proof that CF is doing anything remotely like what you say? All they've done is create a Github repo (which is many developers preferred platform) and say that they are moving to a more distributed governance model. All at the request of the original maintainer, Mike Pall.
They've even explicitly stated that CF will not be taking over the project; they're only helping move it to a new home and to find a group who can maintain it to replace Mike Pall. There's zero evidence that CF's intentions are to the contrary, so I do think what you are saying is completely unfounded. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
While logicrime's comments may be wrong and a bit over the top, I don't think this comment should have been flagged. We've seen a well-explained criticism of a potential, if unlikely, future. These comments are much less inflammatory than other comments that have been left alone on HN.
I still plan on embedding LuaJIT into my automation software, so I personally look forward to to seeing what CF and any LuaJIT successors produce. So let's take logicrime's fears into consideration instead of just shutting them down.
