Maybe a workable solution to this conundrum would be for Chris to fork a version of Stepconf into a new configurator (maybe called pyvcpConf or something). Since forking (sub)projects is not only legal in GPL but encouraged, Chris can add to his hearts content without stepping on Jeff's vision or toes. Is that a workable solution for everyone?
