I hope the community grows even if it gets fragmented because of all
the incompatible people.

Thanks I was beginning to think no one read that email. Incidentally
we really could use more people testing pcb-rnd and if the bugs I have
found are any indication the mainline of pcb could use some retesting
too.

I was hoping pcb would adopt pcb-rnd as it's new head and Igor2's work
would see wider use.

I guess now it is more like the open document foundation and
libreoffice / openoffice. People will fork or rewrite pcb/geda and new
groups will form. I think the important thing is that we manage to
work together on file formats and things that are less contentious.
