Well I'm not involved so don't let me put you off it. :)
In broad principal I think a lively kbin fork is desirable.
It is very strange that the people associated with it spend their time doing posts like this one. No matter what you think of someone development style, tracking their behavior like this is fucking weird. Bordering on harassment. And in service of promoting their platform.
Why not announce features and bug fixes like a normal project?
But honestly I am hoping that if some more calm people get mixed up this will cool down.
