I agree with this sentiment - majority of the existing Greenplum users that
we are considering converting over to Cloudberry, they all have existing
MADlib installed in their environments.
They are asking about its independence as an Apache project and future of
Apache MADlib within Cloudberry since Broadcom abandoned the OSS community.

Having support for MADlib under Apache Cloudberry would be an ideal
solution for most of these existing Greenplum users.

Thanks,
Tushar
