I'm not shure if it is really fun.


but I surely think the forking wasn´t needed, and it was cause because
of politcs, FUD, and paranoia.

"That´s the way OSS works" seems to be an excuse to fork, fork, fork.


No, not fork. Fork is a kind of side effect.

It is a matter of engagement and attractiveness (and cooperation/
coordination). FUD, paranoia and the like are surface phenomena if
something is going wrong under the hood. Part of each successful project
is to take care to keep its developers onboard. Something went wrong
here during the Sun / Oracle merger.
