Ugh. A tweet with no details. Just explain your rant and not tease the world.
My money is on this being a media stunt and the next tweet will be something like "now I love it"

It's probably a lead-in to some announcement of collaboration or similar

Yeah, was thinking that initially as well, but then you wouldn't wait hours for the next tweet no? Also, you wouldn't delete previous blog posts mentioning the product.

My money is now that CloudFlare are announcing a competitor to one or more of HashiCorps products instead.

that's a really fast 180 if so. The deleted blog post was posted only 7 days ago.
Is that a Cloudflare buy signal?
There's zero substance in that tweet.
I used to respect people for tweeting their opinions. After learning from my mistakes, I dont. This looks worse on CloudFlare than HashiCorp.

Have a critique? Then talk about that. Have something vague to say? Just don't.

Any idea about why it was deleted? (or for the CloudFlare employees/managers/CEOs who hang around HN: Why did you delete this?)

Once the information is out there, it's out there, as the Internet Archive proves. So it can't be about hiding security details (they should also know security by obscurity is nothing to brag about).

Are they no longer happily using Vault? Then update the blog post instead of trying to hide that they were ever using it, then you'll actually help people instead of just confusing them.

All in all, this whole thing is looking very fishy.

Zero context tweet. I really don't see the point of submitting this to HN.
Long enough with the suspense, tell the drama!
