It's no reason to hold the whole distro back, however.
Perhaps after he figures out he has no more users he'd be more open to
merging the fork back in, and *collaborating* in a productive way.
I'll take an upstream that takes slightly longer to fix a bug and is
open to evolving with the software it uses than a project that
breaks A[P|B]I regularly (from what I read here) any way.
I don't have all the facts, and I only know what I read others saying
about it, but +1 to turbo. Why has this taken so long?
I mean, every other major distro is using -turbo. It can't be that bad.
Cheers,
Paul
