I don't know. As I said before I've been away and out of doing anything with ZC this year beyond trying to get the source to people that wanted it. ZoriaRPG, along with a few others that were interested got early access. I was 'secondary' hoping to find someone that was willing and capable of helping as well.
Saffith was messing with it for a bit before people started clamoring about it (well that and the fact that 2.5 branch wasn't in the repo--I didn't want to put the 2.5 branch up on github immediately because I knew we were undermanned and would regret it if/when ZC started getting forks that might run amok) and removed it for the time being as it wasn't really doing too much anyway and could just re-add it whenever.
[edit]
It's a shame to resort to huffy-puffy behavior just because of a few differences. I believe about 75% of the changes from those forks could be added without too much fuss. Why focus on the corner cases and difference of opinion about the minority?
