I'm not sure where I stand on this issue, but at least things are being shaken up a bit.

And that is the point.
Not relying on a single source for Bitcoin's code is healthy.
I hope we get multiple (non forked) versions of Bitcoins code giving real choice.
The criticism of Knots single developer is correct, yet despite this, it is better to have choice than no choice.
We are running FROM Core, NOT TO Knots.
Fair enough.
