Well, actually, the discussion went on in Early Music between
Joshua and Ton Koopman (I believe this was in the year 2000).
Eventually they called in Andrew Parrot as the unbiased mediator,
who then ended up writing a book which basically completely
supports Joshua's view. The whole thing is as settled as it can be.
There will always be those who don't believe the evidence, but it
is nonetheless there.
Andrew was committed to Joshua's view (with practical accommodations,
such as
addition of ripieno singers for the bigger choruses) by 1985, when he
made his own
recording of the B minor Mass, using some of Joshua's parts.* My
recollection of the
"Early Music" correspondence in c. 2000 is that Andrew immediately
weighed in on
Joshua's side.
* I found the quality of the performance as convincing an argument as
the deductions
from the historical evidence.
