Strongly disagree. The projects are inevitably connected by the fact that
the user bases overlap by probably 90% or more, and both are fairly small.
Like it or not their fates are intertwined and it's in the interests of
both for us to get along at least minimally. Which we're actually sort of
doing. John doesn't want gschem to get busted because he's been burned by
changes in the past. He's welcome to sound the alarm over anything
concrete that he knows may cause breakage. We can object if his criticism
is too vague of unfairly singles out pcb for criticism.
