> As the same time, there's often a hypocrisy in these communities. When a change is suggested, half the developers shout "show me the code"; when the code is written another half complain about the style or how it's the wrong way to do it; and when the code is released independently because an upstream merge is just too difficult, yet another half complain about the project being forked. However, the fork allows the code to prove itself in the real world and not simply in theoreticals, and what more proof is needed?
You have three halves here... could you let us know the approximate size of each of them :-D (another cliché, esp. for old French-speaking people who know Raimu)

The three halves were intentional -- a little levity to (hopefully) show I'm not frothing at the mouth over here.
However, to play pedant, I did represent each half at a different point in time, so it all works out. ;-)

Also you never said that these halves were distinct sets. A developer can easily say "show me the code" _and_ later complain about the fork.
