Why wouldn’t the purist camp fork GHC? Who decides which “side” forks “off”?
Clearly, the side that wants to do something different should fork, right?
The whole debate is trying to find common ground within a diverse group holding different opinions and beliefs. Something open source has been about (to me!) for a long time: people with different beliefs/orientations/associations/preferences congregating around a shared interest.
Well, if the differences concern topics not directly associated with the project at hand, then they might not be a problem. However, if the differences directly concern the development of the software, then there might be less of that shared interest of the people. All the best, Wolfgang
