QNAP designation of MinimServer as EOL

[Klaus57]

First of all, the "good" news:
I have the 6.1 beta version of QNAP running and MS worked as a native app without any problems. Nevertheless, I switched to Doker, if only because I run several instances of MS. Then I set both MS and JRE to the "stopped" status, of course without negative consequences for the Docker application. By the way, setting up a Docker container is very easy, there are instructions from Simon.
My very personal(!) opinion on the topic:
I understand Simon's displeasure about QNAP's communication with the developers, there still seems to be "room for improvement".
I also understand, if something works well, there seems to be no reason to change it.
But it is also the case that we expect the supplier of an operating system to deliver it stably, quickly, securely (very important in times like these) and fit for the future and to work on it continuously – for example, through regular updates that not only close security gaps, but also include real technological development.
I can't judge whether QNAP wants to stop supporting MS (and other apps) as native apps for these reasons, but I strongly hope so.
My idea of a "Plan B" is that we will receive MS as a pure Docker application in the future. This requires effort on the part of Simon, that is clear to me.
But then we are future-proof: Both against changes on the part of the operating system and even if Docker is replaced as a runtime environment in the background, the Docker images created remain universally applicable (OCI).
In the medium term, it may be that QNAP withdraws operating system resources from defined native apps and then these apps can actually no longer be installed or started and have not only disappeared from the App Store.
