Yes, there were layoffs. But "core maintainers" is not a term they use, and kind of fuzzy since people come and go; some early team members left well before then. People didn't all leave (or get laid off) at the same time, and they never laid off the entire team as far as I know.

Sure, whatever.

The one major company backing a project lays off a number of the team working on the project.

That is not exactly the signal of a bright future.

It would be cool if you could apply even the most basic reading comprehension here where it says there was zero change in team size and stop spreading nonsense.

Ok.

Here’s the top comment from the Reddit post that was linked

> Hey folks! Kevin, product manager on Flutter and Dart here.

> The layoffs were decided AT LEAST a couple of layers above our team and affected a LOT of teams. (I think I can say that). Lots of good folks got bad news and lots of great projects lost people. Flutter and Dart were not affected any more or less that others. It was a tough day...tough week.

Can you comprehend that?
