I beg your pardon?
that person is not certainly me, or is he/she?
are you asking that I should be banned/moderated too?

that would be quite an interesting move...

though, I am still in the very strong and (strictly) technical opinion 
that the target of "the fork" should have been about "jackpatch" in the 
first place, and only.

"jackpatch" is a standalone utility program, that just happens to be the 
real, and technically speaking, the "glue" to the JACK ecosystem--if you 
don't put it on the graph, NSM won't represent the slightest joy to any 
JACK client whatsoever nor their respective in-session connections.

formerly, "jackpatch" has been delivered by the original 
"non-session-manager" source offering.

NSM, the protocol or NSM API, as you might prefer, allegedly will be the 
same (or is it not?)

but some chose that it was about the whole dang bundle: the original 
FLTK non-session-manager (or legacy-gui) but also the tiny "jackpatch" 
thingie...

besides all the non-technical issues that I won't repeat here, i should 
say that was a disgraceful move to begin with, that (double-handledly) 
resulted in what you all know (and/or chose to ignore).

what I believe that would be the right thing to do: this hypothetical 
"new-jackpatch" tool that maybe well be an addition to the official 
jackaudio.org source tree and thus community-recommended thereafter, in 
jack_tools, perhaps--just one official alternative with the 
full-stamp-of-approval by jackaudio.org et al.

nb. people may still well choose whatever NSM *manager* he/she likes 
most (argodejo, raysession, new-session-manager, even the original 
non-session-manager, whatever... that would be great and possibly still 
is, I believe.

but then, I digress... I apologize to bring you all this in such a rant, 
sorry again.

promise I rest my case here, anyway:
I've made my stance and, as said on the OP, I don't really wish to hose 
you with this matter anymore... wait, sorry :) as long as 
"n..-session-manage(r|ment).jackaudio.org" won't ever be a thing!
