There has already been plenty of outrage expressed by the Koha community and clearly it hasn't made a difference.

Oh, I don't know about that. We investigated Koha and Evergreen for a year and recently decided to go with community Koha using ByWater Solutions as a vendor rather than LibLime largely because of LibLime's position within (or rather, without) the community. That, and the fact its product has basically become a proprietary system with all the weaknesses and pitfalls of such systems. While investigating, we did visit a couple of LibLime clients who are jumping ship as soon as they are legally able, for many of the same reasons we eschewed it from the git-go.

So, I think it has, in fact, made a difference. People who care do pay attention.
