Despite our best efforts Gentoo is not a fun-loving community where everyone gets along. If you want to call the fact that the majority of developers want to go in direction 'X' a cabal; then so be it. Many folks are happy at the current pace of development. I imagine these two folks were frustrated at the lack of new features in the ebuild spec that were readily available in kdebuild-1 and decided to move on. More power to them I say. -Alec
