It was not expectation when they started, did a lot to lure many into the ecosystem. When you release it free, wait for the momentum to build, then you cut off, it is something else. And the worse is they did it in a very short time. Check out elasticsearch, the same route but did not abandon the 7 release like this.

A social contract isn't a legal contract to begin with, but even for those "written or explicitly spoken" is not a hard requirement.
