I mean... I don't want to bash the guy, even if I find some of his latest comments off putting. I know running a project involves often thankless behind the scenes work, and if you keep doing that you start to feel entitled to having your way, since you're putting in most of the work. That will naturally lead to friction, which over time tends to wear down your patience. Impatient people naturally tend to get into more friction, and obviously you see where this goes. So like I said, I don't want to personally attack him, I just want to say I don't think it's leading to good results (obviously from my point of view).
Some personality types are more prone to this than others, and probably the personality types that would take management of a big community project like this have a fair amount of overlap with personality types that might be a bit more assertive than most. I know if I led a big project I'd start nice and open and assume good faith and all that jazz, but I also know people would get on my nerves, friction would develop, and I'd probably drive everyone away with an insane tirade at 3am. So in that way Kevin's demonstrated a lot more patience than I have.
So I guess what I'm saying is, I would love a separate fork to happen, but I also know I'm too lazy to do it myself, so I have no business expecting someone to do it for me. I'd rather there be at least one version being added to instead of zero.
TLDR; I'm lazy, make Cata exactly the perfect game in my imagination, and no I'm not giving you any input, because I'm lazy, remember?
