I don't actually care about the drama per se at this point either. I mentioned it because, along with the fact that:

development is not very open (in that only that one guy commits and releases stuff)
release cadence is very erratic and often lags behind upstream chromium, which is a direct consequence of the previous point
you mentioned about the guys absence - the first time was some time ago and he was inpatient in the hospital for (IIRC) alcohol abuse, and this absence actually coincided with the drama over the furry and the other stuff, so it took awhile for it to be addressed, which only added more fuel to the fire. The second was just this last couple of months were he was house sitting for his parents (mentioned on the release notes I linked before)

All of this paints a bleak outlook for the long term health of this project, IMO. Which is too bad , because I still think it's one of the better forks of chromium.
