Speaking personally...

I'm here to try to keep one community rather than several - to the
extent that there still *is* one community; to a large extent it's
de-facto forked.  That means I'm trying to exert pressure both ways.  I
want SqF to represent the broader body of Squeak users, including me for
what use I make of the system.  That means (to me) ensuring that SqF is
representative of the broader body, which it isn't at present.

The alternative is to accept the fork, at which point I'll leave this
mailing list and head over to Craig Latta's side of the world.

Quite.
