---> But 'Minio' has been forked and resurrected as 'Silo'...

*SILO is not a new object storage solution.* It is essentially a
community-maintained version of the MinIO documentation, maintained by the
Pigsty project following the licensing and strategic changes made by MinIO
Inc. The website explicitly states that it is a fork of the official MinIO
documentation and that it is not affiliated with MinIO Inc.
