I find it ironical that people who take up pitch forks and accuse others of being a hazard to the health and growth of a project would, in lieu of having their demands met, do one of the worst actions possible against what they were "protecting": splitting the code base and the community with a fork.
- stephenr 9y agoHow is forking the codebase "the worst possible thing"? The open source landscape is filled with forks of projects that diverged for a variety of reasons. A fork means the people involved are still contributing code and it can potentially be merged upstream. The alternative is they don't fork, and contribute nothing because they're unhappy with the original project.
