Honestly if you are curious you can just read a bit above, this thread is a bit long but it certainly goes into the details of the problem. The TL;DR is basically ZF & ECC have no legitimacy over the current dev fund; they had 0.1% stakeholder support, it should not have proceeded forward but they forced their way. The last few messages of that thread are also worth checking out.
Values & principles are what is most precious in humans imho. Sure, ZF & ECC did some magic math, but one needs more than that to gain my respect.
