This is typical of Facebook.

Years ago, Facebook maintained a Python SDK for their API. One day, with no warning, Facebook announced they would no longer support it because they didn't have the resources, and the repo was removed from their Github org, which caused a huge headache. IIRC, the community settled around someones fork.

A few months later, Facebook was a major sponsor of PyCon and they set up a recruitment booth. "We'll take your developers, but we won't support your ecosystem." Really rubbed me the wrong way.

not trying to throw sympathy here for Facebook, but the team that owned that Python SDK was probably not at all related to the PyCon recruitment booth. Big organization, at least someone was trying to do the right thing
