I was not saying that they can not coexist. kicad is a distraction for
the terms of discussion.

As I said it is about not diluting programming effort across
forks/branches/what ever of PCB. I get that you want your own fork and
that is cool. You made it off of the PCB source. Why do you object to
people bringing your additions back to PCB? I kind of feel like this
has gotten compeditive (pcb vs pcb-rnd) and I can not see why.
