“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

The situation affecting the project right now is extremely similar to
the events of ~15 years ago that led to a fork and harmed the project
immensely.

We are seeing the same strategy deployed. If we want to avoid the same
harm happening, we need to realize how it happened the first time.
