I agree that my point of view could be (a lot) less informed than yours mkubani thus I may fail to understand the inner works inside TD team but... The part of your post I preserve in my quote could be a reason of why it seems things between those two parties are going in opposite directions.

Imagine one task of the two sides would be to mandatory find a common language no matter the limitations. At first glance you may have bad feelings about the idea... but what if?

What if some of the delay in releasing official patches or modpacks would be motivated with:

"we still have problems in finding a common ground with the other side in some/this aspect"

?

I'm sure at first it will look as the job will never be done... IMHO this happens because everybody is thinking at using the easy "maneuver" of closing the door and forget about it. Thus a solution to this "task" seems impossible because it's hard, but not really impossible.

So... what would such a task would imply for the two sides? What everyone would have to give in? What could be changed in the initial positions? what has been changed till now?

Sorry for a bit long post.
