"Have been inconsistent" refers to their past behaviour. "Don't intend
to cater" refers to the meeting and announcement.
According to people on the ops team who have worked with them
recently, they stopped working on the open source product altogether.
They stopped responding to bug reports. By "reinvest in open source"
they are apologising for that and promising to start reading their bug
mail again. This was discussed in the meeting.

"Have been inconsistent" refers to their past behaviour. "Don't intend
to cater" refers to the meeting and announcement.
