I don't think that's such a horrible or tragic outcome. Squeak benefits  
greatly from Stephane's work (IMO), so it's a loss in one sense if he  
decides not to work on it, but at the same time, if he's frustrated by  
those who are at cross-purposes, a fork is a good solution.

On the one hand, Smalltalk is meant to be altered in dramatic ways, on the  
other, people are trying to get work done. Those two purposes are going to  
cross at times.
