Concerns over Nvidia potentially acquiring Llama.cpp and Hugging Face

The author expresses concern that Nvidia might acquire the Llama.cpp team and Hugging Face. Given Nvidia's history of phasing out older GPUs (like V100) to push new tech, there is worry that this would reduce support for legacy cards with high VRAM at low cost. The author also questions if community developers can sustain maintenance without commercial incentives.
