I think they should have waited more than a few minutes to start hassling the fork about it.
But they're here in this thread, paying attention to the discussion, and people have wasted no time in making the fork in the first place.
At the very least, I think the "absolutely devoid of class" comment is uncalled for. I don't think it's unreasonable, not even in terms of time frame, even if I disagree with the manner in which it was done.
What frustrated me was that I'd already turned on the issue tracker and created an issue to monitor progress on removing links and references to Caddy.
