Tired of seeing this article pop up. It really comes off as a "public shaming" of react-router's maintainers. This is not how OSS should work.

Agreed. But then again i'm not sure what would be the best way here to meet everybodys needs and was hoping for a discussion: While forking is encouraged by Git(Hub) it also tends to fragment the community. So i see Jimmys points but it also puts a lot of burden on the already update-plagued react-router users.
