I spent months trying to get everybody together and there was a fork
because we had a disagreement in december. Instead of working together
and working with me, people just forked. That really hurt. With that
lack of commitment to the ZTK, I didn't feel inclined to be committed
to it either.

I haven't seen a plausible reason why the fork should be necessary. It
just uses some updated versions of packages (mostly bugfix releases)
that would have been updated in the ZTK as well if people had bothered
to update them.

Regards,

Martijn
