Rakudo and NQP make no claims to have separated from Parrot, and I don't think that "now that they have finally truly separated" should quite yet be taken as an established fact. It's not the official position of the Rakudo development team. Thus far this notion of a "split" appears to be the public position of mainly one Parrot developer/leader (admittedly one of the most active ones). If Parrot decides to diverge from Rakudo and Perl 6, that's entirely Parrot's choice to make (as I've held for quite some time), and we'll find ways to work with whatever happens. It's not Rakudo's goal to stand in the way of Parrot's evolution, nor is it our goal to eliminate Parrot as one of Rakudo's useful backends.
