I wish something existed for the Amazon Cloudcams I still have around …
a meme I heard 15 years ago is:
What’s the definition of “Legacy Code”? It’s code that has business value.
(otherwise you’d just delete it and move on)
Yes, if your code does not live long enough to become legacy ... the project failed. All good code is (or will be) legacy code by definition. Most companies and projects die because nobody cares about them, not because they were difficult to maintain.

Jove and Jed were (are still in some cases!) my go-to options when Emacs was too heavyweight

Is there other ways that are just as easy?
Last company was pretty heavy free user of Bitnami charts for various things but biggest being Redis clusters. I can't imagine they could convert everything into a cluster using their own charts before this kicks in. Very possible they end up tossing at least a year worth of licensing towards Bitnami.
Yes. Whatever money you get with this is going to be small and short-lived. The big money is in compliance. That is a GTM problem, not a technical one.

nobody familiar with broadcom or how they are run should be even remotely surprised by this decision
It’s mostly that they don’t understand their own users and potential customers in this particular case of Bitnami. There are so many other ways to increase revenue without alienating the core developer base. Enterprise want stability, breaking changes is a poor way to convince someone to pay you.

Hi, former cofounder of Bitnami here. I left VMware quite a while ago, so not involved with this. The technical team at Bitnami is still top notch and great people. I am quite baffled at this business decision.
What is the use case for needing to run Linux inside of Node.js?
The article provides a few examples. Basically is a way to get a lightweight Linux when you cannot assume Docker will be there or will be an extra dependency to manage/require.
Examples: Run a MySQL database for development purposes, run a Linux signing script in Windows, run some legacy code as part of a modern web stack, isolated environments for AI agents, etc
