I think it's a bad move to keep this in trunk. If you want me to throw a penny in I'd say split it now. The initial attraction of Typo because it waslean. Why keep multi blog in trunk when not everyone wants it? It'sscreaming out for a separate branch.That's nonsense. Since when has adding multiblog support to a blogging engine killed the project? You're scare-mongering and that doesn't help.
You've taken what I said and interpreted it completely opposite to the meaning. I didn't say adding multiblog support would kill the project. I said trying to maintain two branches in parallel development, one as single-blog and one as multi-blog, would either kill a branch or kill the entire project (parallel development meaning any features/bugfixes written for one branch would, if applicable, have to be re-written for the other branch as well). The other option would be for someone else to start maintaining one of the branches and for it to basically become a fork. But that's certainly not desirable either.
