I think there's some misunderstanding (or otherwise trolling).
There's no discussion as there are no competing forks. There is discontinued
(judged by upstream and bug activity) project and there is follow-up project.

In this particular thread, lecturing us on forks (in ex. not always being
automatically profitable), while at the same time likely being unaware of
status of vixie-cron development and its Gentoo maintenance story, then
trying to get what we define as 'dead upstream' in pretentious one-liners like
someone's life depended on it is what Markos called it - useless - not 'personally
uncomfortable'.

Neither is trolling. Please be so kind and discontinue this practice.
Thanks for understanding.
