We've tried to avoid creating a "drama"; that's not the intention at all. But we want to attract other developers to our experimental fork, so that if you want to use new and exciting features, or contribute your own, you don't have the entire burden of maintaining your own fork. The hope is that the Typelevel fork will gain enough critical mass to encourage people to develop new language features where they previously wouldn't have bothered, due to the high costs involved (in terms of maintenance) and limited returns. It really is meant to be a community effort.
