Hi Joachim: The problem is that we have forked from Guac 1.2 and have made very extensive changes to customize the functionality for our customers' needs (performance, security, replaced SFTP with a different approach etc). Merging with Guac again would be a major undertaking we are unable to do at this time.
As the team grows, we may reconsider our options. Hope this helps....
