My take on this split as the package maintainer (not involved in either upstream community) is that I'm inclined to follow what other distributions are doing, and it appears that other distros (Fedora, Arch, Gentoo) are sticking with the original pygame; I haven't seen anyone package the forked version. I intend on uploading pygame 2.5.0 soon. Regards, Vincent
