Is the problem here that everyone wants a different like 45% of the S3 API? Or is it that minio sucked all the oxygen out of the air in this space by being good at this, and now we need something else to show up?
Then why nobody forked minio?
Maybe nobody wants to spend effort maintaining it? I imagine it's simpler to build your own S3 alternative than maintain minio. Also nobody wants to test AGPL liability in court: https://www.reddit.com/r/minio/comments/1fnuv46/does_interac...
For me it went into the multi-node direction, where I'd use Ceph anyway (or build on-top of an existing solid distributed database) if I needed it.
Also think there is an abstraction mismatch with the object stores that store the objects with a 1:1 mapping into the file system. Obvious issues are that you only get good listing performance with '/' as delimiter and things like "keys with length up to 1024 bytes" break.
