That article is not correct on the Daniel Robbins aspect. I can have Daniel comment if you like. It had more to do with leading Gentoo, resuming his previous role etc. Nothing relating to CoC or individuals. > Sometimes forks exist because individuals don't get along or have > strong ideas for how things should work to the exclusion of other > ideas of how things should work.
