Deleting 'organization data' absolutely read that they would delete everything. Changing direction and back pedaling with a non-apology is borderline insulting.

I understand the need to make money as a company, but it really is biting the hand that fed messing with open source maintainers

I have no horse in this race, but fwiw, I can see how this mistake would be made honestly. Organization data could be easily refer to just the metadata of the organization, and depending on how the product is structured[1], could feel quite different from public images.

Marketing people try to explain away mistakes with doublespeak. Isn’t it grand? They keep digging deeper at this point.

"Actually" is not a great word to use in the context of an apology.

We have learned that public images are NOT organization data!

With the organization data gone, will there be a way to update the retained images, like security fixes etc? If not, then this could become very dangerous.

Relying on a free service for important work? Maybe they are right.

Silly us, I suppose we should stop relying on APT/RPM/what-have-you Linux package mirrors, NPM, NuGet, PyPi, Hex, RubyGems, Crates, ... too.

We all rely on many free services and code. And, by the way, I'm a paying customer - I don't use their services but do this to support the pioneer!
