So what do you suggest as a solution then?

 Peace and Love!

 That being said, people work better when there is competition. As
long as there is "balance in power", and mutual respect/trust, things
should just work. But that is something that even with infinite
multiple precision, probably cannot be resolved with just math :-)

There can be amicable forks (e.g. Pyrex/Cython), but like you said it takes mutual respect and trust. There is certainly a lack of trust on both sides, as well as lack of respect, and it'd be nice if that all went away but that's easier said than done (especially with the personalities in question).

For the most part, I like seeing the people on both sides just trying to make the best code possible, rather than spend too much energy on politics (though clearly defamatory statements can cause direct harm), and we all benefit.
