Why is COdbaUA doing this? In my mind, it's clear.
EF has exposed their lies and incompetence. It's allowed us to see (and manage) failures to deliver (such as not clearing GPUs into R) and lies (such as promising enhanced elite availability that, in fact, does not exist).
We know they have no interest in fixing any of these problems, so they want to cover up the evidence instead.
In my mind, it's that simple.
