Isn't the lack of developer time being spent on GNUstep a fact that there
aren't many developers interested in maintaining it?
By not splitting these two, you are losing out on the consistent efforts of
Yamamoto Mitsuharu, who has done a superlative job at providing an excellent
experience for Mac users. If we use his code, we also gain him as an active
developer for a very active platform. By sticking with GNUstep, however much
the FSF may want that, we are restricting ourselves to a developer pool
interested in GNUstep -- which is not going to include many people from the
Mac development camp.
