Off-topic: Now I feel bad after reading those links having voiced support for this excursion. Sorry @athenian200 - you had good reason to be pissed off, I guess.

Off-topic: Don't worry, it's all good. I understood where you were coming from. My original plan was to avoid sharing that fact with everyone because I worried it would cast Basilisk-Dev and wuigi in a bad light, turn the community against them, and cement the break in collaboration. Chose to instead just kind of gloss over that part. But I did know about that when I posted, so it was on my mind admittedly. I wasn't lying when I said I wanted them to stay... Basilisk-Dev in particular does good work and we don't have a lot of developers here to begin with. wuigi has made some promising first commits as well. So it's a bit sad to see a fork like that if it means they're going away. I'm still hoping this is a misunderstanding and they do still intend to collaborate, especially since Basilisk-Dev reopened the issues he knew were unfinished. This project does have a history of hostile forks that start working against us, so maybe we took this the wrong way and it really is just a playground for e10s and WebExtensions, or a plan to attract outside contributors who don't feel comfortable working with us directly into writing UXP code that can then be upstreamed. There are other explanations than what it "looks like," but when we first saw it the other night, I have to admit we didn't take it well. And I may have made the whole thing worse for MC because I wondered if the fork may have been due to Basilisk-Dev being frustrated with the slow pace of PR merging or something, and Moonchild seemingly merged everything from eUXP he thought was useful in an exasperated rush... some of which was apparently unfinished. Whole situation has just been... tense.
