Not an April fools joke. [0]

That makes it look more like an April fools joke. All the commits are from today.


Cloudflare specifically launches things on April 1st a lot of times. https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/1907055975057506793

They announced 1.1.1.1 on April 1st way back in 2018 too.


Gmail was also launched on April 1st. The fact that it came with 1GB of storage instead of Hotmail, which limited you to something like 20MB, made people think it was an April Fool's joke.


That's not unusual though, large companies releasing something open source very often squash the history at launch.


The best jokes are serious.
