Thank heavens for Incus.
- The issue here is that this will stall the development of LXD/Incus. Two separate projects running in different directions no future feature parity and potentially less features in Incus than in LXD.
  
  Currently LXC Incus is more active than Canonical LXD.

I just see a problem here:
I perfectly understand, approve and back this move, however I’ve a question about the current state of things and specifically Debian 12 users. Debian includes LXD LTS 5.0.2 on their repositories and that version will be still be around after 2024/05 and trying to use the image server. Debian won’t likely change stable to include Incus until 2025, what’s the suggested path here?

Do people actually use LXD in production? All hosting services I've seen use LXC and not LXD for containers, as do UIs like Proxmox and Unraid, and you don't have to use Snap for LXC.

I though it was being relicensed under agpl?

  The answer is in the submitted blog post.
- It's both
