It is my understanding that there were a number of long-term conflicts within the Quagga project. At some point, the situation became poisonous, and everyone I know joined FRR, with just the lone maintainer remaining in the original Quagga project.

I wish FRR all the best, but a number of people who had attempted to work with Quagga have moved on to other things, and since the open source routing community is not that large to start with, it might not be easy to rebuild a friendly crowd around FRR. I think it's a terrible waste.

Going by the name, you are one of the people responsible for the poison.

BTW, tell me this: Which of the people who've joined FRR are not sponsored by, contracting with, or customers of Cumulus?
