[Idle-dev] To fork, or not to fork?

That is my question. I thought the immediate goal was to eliminate the need
for a fork by reconciling the changes that had been made to the two branches
in a way that supports the needs of both the official Python as well as
VPython. Then future development (revitalization) would occur against this
single new version of IDLE. Did I miss something?

All this talk of two branches and merging in the future and applying bug
fixes from one to the other has me confused.
