I thought you read emacs-devel?
Yes, but in this case I discussed it directly with Stefan and David.
I won't claim their sanction for the word "fork", but they clearly
agree that it's friendly. Of course neither is happy that the
combination of Apple's IP and FSF policy make a merge impossible, but
neither is anywhere close to advocating a change of FSF policy. And
of course we can advocate to Apple as much as we like but that won't
affect anything.
Seems friendly enough to me.
There is not much redundancy I see. I am not sure about the split
communities, either.
David claims tens of thousands of downloads at each release. I don't
see those users posting to emacs-devel. I would expect a couple dozen
based our our experience with Choi's Carbon port of XEmacs.
