I feel that departure of the lead R4L developer was a compromise deliberately made to not make Hellwig feel like a complete loser. This sounds bad of course.

no lead R4L left because of the current situation. Marcan was the lead of Asahi Linux, not R4L. Wedson (which was one of the leads of R4L) left some time ago, before all of this, and his problem was not with Hellwig (or, at least it was not the one that brought the last drop).

Marcan quitting wasn't a compromise, the resignation of a maintainer would never be used that way. Dude was just burnt out. I don't blame him at all, hopefully some time away from the situation does him some good.
