A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I prophesied that to happen back on reddit but with FLOSS development culture being as it is pre-emptive forking is kinda considered the same as a pre-emptive nuclear strike. It's just not done in polite company.
I'm about 100% that there's going to come a make-or break situation where, if the developers don't concede, there will be a fork, but it could also be that the devs are conscious enough of what's happening that they'll cave under the pressure and thus manage to retain some influence over the project.
