Hi Peter!
Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to look into exactly what happened, but I think I get the gist. I'm sad that the code of conduct was broken and things weren't dealt with super well (in my unresearched opinion). I think that Ayo will not have the success that io.js had back in the day because things are a bit different. It's more social, so I expect the only people who move to Ayo are those who know or care about the situation. Also many folks will just think that io.js will happen all over again and Ayo will be merged eventually so they have no need to switch.
We'll see though. Thanks!
