OTOH, there was also the XEmacs fork, which started almost in the same
time frame, and which ended very differently. If someone is going to
read on the egcs affair, I suggest reading on XEmacs as well.
My take from this is twofold:
. forks are a terrible waste of our scarce resources
. people should try harder to work with those with whom they
disagree, and should emphasize the common instead of the
disagreements
