Looks like some people wanted Rod Vagg removed (I don't know the reason why ATM) but the TSC voted against it.

Well, governance issues were certainly the big reason iojs came about, but it had more to do with node's lack of progress as a shipping software project. If this new project is really going to turn out better than what node is doing, great. Othwerwise, who knows!

The why is here: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/310

Beyond that, the last fork forced some positive changes. I hope this one does the same.

Full details: main issue is that someone posted a link against CoCs, then subsequently screenshotted abusive tweets they received: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:/...

Yeah, I feel the same way. I was very much on the iojs side last time, but I was more connected to what was going on back then.

Why?

I believe it is related to this:
