Actually, no.  It was the underhanded method that was used and its
associated politics.  If this was truly all that they wanted, they
should have just gone ahead and done their fork without all the
secretive politicking.  I haven't heard a reasonable explanation
for why they didn't do just that.  I'm sure that the "community"
as a whole would like to know.

Speaking for myself.
