summary

A wide-ranging Q&A covers concrete moves: Adobe buys Magento and that drives vendor interest in Drupal commerce integrations; Acquia secures deeper-pocket investors and keeps independence while expanding capital; the project is building a telemetry initiative to measure which core features and admin flows are actually used so decisions can be data-driven; the credits program expands beyond code to reward docs, UX, events; Layout/Layer Builder moves toward whole-page editing and the team compares specific tradeoffs with Gutenberg.
