But are its features now in the current Csound?
If so, then the Linux fork worked ok as a testbed for new features.

Why now a new fork? I remember this recent debate on some hard coded
constant (16 vs. 64 something), but what else causes conflicts?
Was somebody removing the useful user opcode plugin system?

In any case, a list of all problems which did lead to forks would
be nice.

Maybe the Csound architecture should be supermodular so that
people may write their own versions without forking. The structure
of the particular Csounds would be described in the config files.
At simplest, a script file could describe what source files are
included in the compilation:
  cp csoundsource/our_main.c csoundcompile/main.c
or
  cp csoundsource/your_main.c csoundcompile/main.c

Interesting question.... Are there any features there that are still not
incorporated?

Cheers,
