Great post. I really think you brought up an important topic. Chc and hoc, are great entities which in many areas work towards the same goal, but in others the philosophy differs.

HOC did revive the chc dev, but chc has acquired a strong team, and soon I am sure that it will be obvious to everyone that they would have been able to stand on their own two legs, but they never will be forced to stand alone.

It's a long journey ahead, who knows what will happen, but looking at what has been accomplished so far, I believe this is the start of something big.
