I think there is a path forward, but if you bull forward with shipping git tip as-is, there will not be.
I don't see why not. The alternate version that has only the Samoa fix should give you a clear path forward in the short term. In the longer term the idea is to come up with a single-repository version that combines the two approaches, which should be a path forward for both of us. Among other things it will give us time to redesign how 'backzone' works, something that really can't be done before the end of the week.
Releasing the current tree as-is will further inflame tempers on this mailing list, making it an even less conducive environment for that discussion. Releasing 2021b as 2021a+Samoa will allow us to discuss the way forward without having to worry about a world with a mix of 2021b and 2021a1 and people who install 2021b and get bitten by behaviour they don't expect.
