It all probability reuniting development efforts that have parted ways is not possible. All that can happen is that some, but ideally not all will wither away. Nobody has succeeded in reuniting NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Not to mention the many Linux distributions, screen vs. tmux, GCC vs. LLVM, KDE vs. Gnome, ...

Ah, that's a bit of survivor bias. Forked libraries and tools re-join all the time. It's not the standard outcome, of course, but I read reports of such rejoins often enough that I'd consider the phrase "all that can happen" to be too strong to applicable. Regards, Jo
