Didn't this just leak?

  AFAIK it wasn't in the leak (that "YT" platform specifically). Also, open-sourcing proprietary projects of this scale is a pretty hard job and it can't be done quickly — seems they had been doing it for a long time, starting long before the leak.

    That's true. We have been preparing for opening YT for a long time when we found out about the leak. We even joked inside that they couldn't even do it normally and we still have to open our part of the code ourselves :) It's truly a hard work, because we were very tightly tied to the Yandex infrastructure and we had to learn how to deploy in k8s from scratch. Also you need a new brand and clean your documentation from irrelevant things... All this takes months.
