That Microsoft has restored WireGuard's ability to release updates is good, sure.

But should we really accept a situation in which Microsoft was able to take it away in the first place?

Different people will have different takes, I appreciate, but so much power concentrated in the hands of one private commercial organisation seems... unwise.
