I think it's going to be confusing and problematic to manage the issue queue and overall development on two discrete branches of the same project.  Since TinyMCE plus is already in motion, it would probably be better to move the 5.x-2 stuff there.  That's all I'm going to say on that one though, and I'll go with whatever flow flows.

I'll lend a hand where I can, but I have to reiterate that all this vitriol and melodrama is a great big giant turn-off that makes me feel disinclined to do much more than I have already done.

Thanks though Boris, for keeping this moving along.
