You define 'would' as if everything they have done up to this point is great and attempting to simply 'merge' existing branches would be crazy! Open your eyes Sobek because you have just dropped the quote of the century....exactly how do you see ED's turning and changing of direction that has led to split development paths, separate ongoing development streams, delayed releases by years, feature creep, bodged functionality, broken functionality, unseen dependencies for 3rd parties etc etc?

The colossal clusterf**** has already happened and we've been seeing it gain momentum right in front of our own eyes for many years now. Let's not pretend for one minute that ED have got this merger under complete control. You're expecting a nice seamless transition due to the expertise, forsight and integration activities ahead that have all been meticulously planned a long time ago? We'll see unicorns jumping over colourful rainbows in our living rooms first and you know it.

Has anyone really got that amount of confidence and trust in ED. I certainly haven't and with valid reason.
