To be blunt I think the reality of the situation is trust, differences in opinion and lack of visibility. While I'm all for inclusiveness I'd suggest that like most open source projects, one or the other will eventually fall off and maybe in a few years merges or similar. People have different motivations and goals with items that are important to them.
I don't feel it's in the open source community's good to do so and only promotes separation, potential antagonism and really in my experience won't result in any changes. Let each project grow and stand on it's own merits. If at a later date they merge great but there has been enough disagreements on the direction of the project on this list that I think that if there are two projects that gives choice and most importantly there is nothing against both projects merging the others patches beyond ego.
