Do you guys use a recruiting agency called Adeptima? I got an email from someone there today claiming to be recruiting for you and it seemed a little sketchy.
It's a common question. As you correctly noted in the changelog, the vast majority of features have been placed in the open source version. The commercial product has gained great visibility and adoption but open source NGINX is very core to our company. In fact, development and feature releases to open source NGINX have rapidly increased since the inception of NGINX, Inc (the company) because it can support the development efforts :)
Have you seen nginScript (1)? It's a syntax for embedding snippets of JavaScript in your NGINX configuration. This allows for scripting application logic into standard NGINX config files via a very common and simple language. There's some more details and simple examples at this blog post.
