Yes, I agree! How about we following what the CNCF community and the
k8s community do toward these changes? I understand that we have
concerns about Slack's new policy (thanks Graham!). Yet we'd better
not migrate to something most of the container communities are
missing. Such isolation can impact the attractiveness of the Kata
project.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Tao
