Please fork.

The fork happened over 10 years ago. Hannum was one of the big reasons for it. The result was OpenBSD. Theo de Raadt put up an exhaustive archive of the relevant e-mails at that time; you can still find it if you look for it. Theo comes off in the emails as abrasive, while Hannum comes out as obnoxious -- even more so in the light of what he now says (in the interview he now blames it all on Chris Demetriou and says he, Hannum, "knew" it would "bite them in the ass": the mails at the time make it clear that Chris was looking for ways to get Theo back in and Hannum was the one blocking it, sometimes openly, but mostly behind-the-scenes).

I can't take a word this guy says seriously.
