I am certainly not going to defend the unfortunate behavior of the community lately; however, the benefits of open source is that the code is still available, always will be, and you are free to do with it as you will. Anyone familiar with development in a corporate setting will understand that internal struggles are not unique to open source. In those cases it is just behind closed doors. Again, I apologize for any concerns this has caused within the user community. Please know that supporting users is a chief issue within all the discussions currently taking place. J.
