Uhm, no one imposed anything on anyone. The source is was maintained on CVS
until a few weeks ago, when it was removed due to nobody working on it for
months. Anyone who wanted to continue the Harmony project was welcome to. It is
the fact that no one (including you) committed any code in months that made
Harmony a dead project, not anyone "imposing their will". While you may have
been a "vocal" proponent of continuing Harmony, neither you nor anyone else
continued to code for it, and thus it died.

It seems that you are upset that you were not able to impose your own will and
keep people from leaving...
