That's true.

That's not so true. I was the team leader, so support from the Morphic 
Team basically meant support for myself. But what I wanted to do would 
have broken badly back compatibility, and would have caused serious 
trouble to Etoys users. It was a risky decision, with good and bad 
consequences for many people. Too much for the Morphic Team (i.e. for 
myself) to make. That's why I asked the community and the Board for 
support. Basically, the Board didn't take a position, and the community 
(almost all who said something) were against it.

I understand this, and it's ok. It is just that after that, I started 
doing all this in my own fork, the Morphic 3.0 image.

Cheers,
