Untrue. Christian and Remy are, and always have been, supportive. They were the ones to suggest the fork, rather than trying to make the changes in trunk. What you have is a vocal minority that disagree. Ethan is not even a core committer, as far as I can tell. Edgewall, the copyright holder, is a defunct shell. That is a primary reason WANdisco wanted to move to the ASF: a home with actual backing and longevity. >... WANdisco has definite problems in how they approach and work with open source communities. They discussed this stuff with the Trac principals privately, rather than with the broader community. But my read is that the Trac leads are supportive of Bloodhound. My interest here is seeing Trac revitalized, improved, and delivered as an awesome open source issue tracker. I'm tired of Bugzilla and (non-OSS) Jira. I like the Google Code tracker, but I'm biased there :-P Cheers, -g (*) on my tablet right now, so it is hard for me to look up details/history; the above is based on my recollection
