The perils of a soft fork...we're too far down the road now for that.
There have been forks in the past that we re-merged down the road to the
benefit of all.  This might be one such case.  Or it might be a case
where we fork for good, for the benefit of all.  But we clearly cannot
remain engaged with the community if we're not transparent about our
concerns or our plans of action to address those concerns, and they are
telling us as much.
