Do people think of CF as a leader in terms of solutions that are "open, collaborative, standardized, and shared across many organizations"? My impression is that their open source work is mostly Cloudflare-specific client libraries and the occasional passion project from their engineers. Quiche may be a counter example, but it's a rare exception.

Examples:

Pingora claims to be battle-tested, but I have a hard time believing that it's to the same level of quality as whatever Cloudflare runs internally. https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/issues/601

https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-oxy/ was not open source.

Small parts of Oxy were open sourced as "foundations" but the repo gives off the impression of a checkbox for someone rather than a serious commitment to building CF's own services on top of it — not "open, collaborative, standardized, and shared across many organizations".
