Yes, and what started out as a good reason to fork has now descended into
lofty goals and "mission statements."
*sigh* If we're lucky it will have gotten Mark's attention and he will
correct the issues that have most of us disappointed with Asterisk's
development.
Or maybe the fork will become a major force in the OSS telephony domain.
OpenBSD began as a fork from NetBSD, based on a disagreement / personality
issues, and it has become a major player in the
slow-but-steadily-growing BSD
niche, and has given the world OpenSSH (which is the SSH of choice on
every Linux distro I've looked in) as well as steadily ratcheted up the
level
of security by proactively fixing things on general principle.
So forks are not always a bad thing, even though they are a pain and lead to
what appears to be needless fragmentation.
As OpenBSD's fearless leader says, "Choice is good".
