The context was the geda main-line-developer-community (for lack of a
better word). Quotes taken out of context have a tendency to sound
differently. I can understand how you took the sentence as an attack.
But maybe you can likewise see that Markus may have referred to main
line development. While he certainly did not express gratitude,

The page at
http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/
is a collection of diffs to main line pcb. A website for a completely
forked project would focus on the project itself, not purely on the
diffs to its parent. No offense, just a diagnosis.

Whatever the reason, this is not complete separation as a complete
fork would have it. Again, no offense, just a diagnosis. A semi-, or
four-fifths-fork is not inherently better or worse than a full one.

Ambiguous as in:
"I do not want to cooperate but I do want to cooperate."
