How exactly could the events a year ago make him say that? Granted he was grey back then but still...

To be honest, what was done had to be done...The shitty part was the approach taken and the telling the friends to stfu etc...

The January mess was what it was -- a mess. Including what came FROM the January mess but later in the year, the end result to me is that:
1/ it led into Yourasoft's stuff, which ended up being a waste of time for a lot of us,
2/ it was an absolute and perfect waste of time in general for all team members, whether pro or anti-leadership,
3/ it took at least 6 months off SMF's schedule,
4/ it hurt its reputation badly, very badly (no thanks to their leadership!)
5/ it pushed away most of their capable teamies or non-teamies.
The only good things that came out of it: BSD license, and Wedge.
So it really was the sign that SMF was dead. Which, in itself, is a good sign because then it can be reborn. Hence Wedge.

What's done is done, and that can't be changed. Just have to take what we have and move on :)

What I will say about what happened is that it was intended as an exercise in clearing the deadwood and retaining only the loyal/eager folks. The fact it was implemented insanely badly didn't help but the spirit of intention was good.
It also fragmented things enough that we became open-minded to the realms of possibility - and it's likely that it was a factor in going to BSD.

At least we learned from it. If it didn't happen, what is there to learn? Hmmm?
