Maybe you read to much into it. Maybe he just hopes the egg can 
be unscrambled at some point in the future.

But even if that's not what he meant so what? It's quite 
reasonable to believe that the fork will be detrimental to D, and 
if you really believe that then it would be perfectly rational to 
hope that it fizzles out and people come back into mainline. Im 
not saying that is what he thinks, but there's a perfectly 
rational and inoffensive reason to hold that view.

What like their gonna send their agents over to derail OpenD? You 
know it'll need a DIP, a couple of years arguing in the forum, 
when somebody eventually completes the work it wont be merged for 
some reason. Etc.. I make that 4 years at least before you need 
to worry.
