Comment To fork or not to fork ? (Score 1) 249
I see a lot of comments about the merits or drawbacks of CSS regions. But in the end, isn't the real issue to be discussed here is the fork of Blink from Webkit ? With the CSS regions and MathML examples, we can see the clear benefit of using a common, open source layout engine. Even if Google was not interested in these features (or rather did not want to commit the resources needed to maintain them), they would have got them "for free" through the work of other contributors to Webkit. I wonder if the gains Google got from forking Blink are really worth these kinds of losses.
