(not explicitly asking you, MZMegaZone) Does anyone understand why a disagreement about this would be worth the extra work in forking the project?

I'm not very familiar with the implications, so it seems like a relatively fine hair to split- as though the trouble of dealing with these as CSV would be less than the extra work of forking.

It probably wasn't. There's likely something else going on. Either Dounin had already decided to fork for other reasons, and the timing was coincidental, or there were a lot of reasons building up, and this was the final straw.

Or he's just a very strange man, and for some reason this pair of CVEs was oddly that important to him.
