From experience, AI is a 10x (or more) booster for getting a new device up and running - or porting mainline Linux to those super old (3.x) kernel forks.
I'll not contribute back anymore - this is a real bummer, but I guess they made their choice.
The policy you linked explains its reasoning pretty clearly. So you feel better about their decision, please re-read it with an open mind and a "why would a very ideologically-motivated copyleft free software project think this" attitude.
Can you give an example of a point in their rationale that they'll "come around" on, and why? I mentioned it because it looks solid to me.
I don't think they'll be forked to irrelevance. Even if I put aside my skepticism of the quality or longevity of AI-assisted projects, I don't think there's a bigger audience for a Nura that's less principled on the issues they mentioned.
To begin with, Nura is based on Linux, which is already contradictory.
Linux uses LLMs. It cannot afford not to, when LLM can find and fix bugs at a rate no amount of human effort can match. This includes security-relevant issues.
