Do me a favour, don't defend your position by shouting about opinion then argue your point with exactly what you've just shot down. I'm not good at all about keeping my opinions out of my posts, but at least those posts don't tell others, quite hypocritically, to keep their opinions out.

If you have to be a programmer to have an opinion to hold weight then fine. Since I have 25 years professional experience and several years more as a layman.
Fork the ultimate version to RP and no RP with Imibis (sp?) microblocks and RP alternatives. Leave the others packs as is, the owner of that pack gets final word such as DW20. There is no merging again, you get the RP version or you get the alternative. They have a tech version, magic, UE, and a brony version, and I'm sure some more. Why can't there be a pack without RP? That way seems the easiest. Those that don't want RP don't have to wait on it, those that do can. Another choice is a good thing.
Many of us could also roll our own minecraft as suggested numerous times. If that's what people have to do then fine. That just invalidates the reason most of us are here and the FTB pack itself. The FTB team has the final say on if we wait for RP or not, however it seems there is a decent rift in the community over it. They could easily alleviate that rift by offering the people that wish to wait one pack and those that don't want to another.
I am actually cool with a pack put out if RP2 is not in. Heck I never said I was opposed to it. am just saying let the woman have time. Beyond that I don't care.
Then what was this whole thing about? I agree with you. She deserves more time. Also Lambert, which is why I said arguably. I understood people may not feel the same way as I do. Many people believe they do it better. I've never touched them so i'm just going off of what other people are saying. Like I said, I don't like any of the mods.
I do apologize for the hypocriticalness of my post. I also have trouble keeping my opinion out of posts. I try to keep it to facts. (Also, i'm really surprised hypocriticalness is a word.)

I agree with RetroGamer1224. Besides, the FTB team needs to spend time making the pack, getting permissions for all the mods, resolving ID issues, optimizing configs, etc. I don't think they want to start spending the time on making new packs unless they have to.
The other packs have a reason for being separate, as they aim to offer different play-styles or are based on the mods used by certain people / servers, not just "one mod didn't update."
There's also the slippery slope issue as I said before, if we do this for RP2 are we going to do it whenever a mod doesn't update? How big / important does a mod have to be to receive this treatment? How long should FTB give mod creators to update before pulling their stuff?
At least in response to that last question, I don't think we have given RP2 enough time, especially given the significant changes in 1.5.1 that affect many blocks in her mod (although I admit it'd be nice if she'd let people know where she's at with the update).

What I don't get is why do you even care. Oh yeah because other mods will be "held up". Again I have a feeling that when 1.6 drops it will be the same thing. And yes it may be soon seeing how Jeb has been working on it since March. Look at his twitter and ater 1.5.1 he is working on 1.6. He shown horses. Even Gamechap and Bertiechap have said it.
oh I'm not asking you to keep opinion from your posts. If no one posted opinion these would be some boring assed forums. Just don't be all like "That's just like, your opinion man!" y'know?
I worried about losing what could possibly be the best mod of all time because people are impatient
FTB won't be held back. How do you draw that conclusion? Hasn't it been said that a modpack can be released that doesn't contain it but it can be put in later? Neesh man the whole point is flexability, options, and personal freedom. Saying to drop a mod for any reason is nuts unless the mod is so poor and broken. RP has its bugs but unless it crashes your client before the login screen it isn't that bad.
Guys FTB have more than 1 pack and can make more if they want to im sure FTB will make a 1.5 as soon as possible, which will probably won't contain redpower (unless elo is secretly updating) however that doesn't mean that all the packs will be updated, the great thing about having more than 1 pack is some can update and some can wait. I suggest people wait and see what happens at the end of the day, the only reason there are so many arguments is because its arguably one of the best mods out there and people dont want to see it go. How about we appreciate the other great mods we have and stop making literally 100's of posts saying "is Redpower being updated". Cieronph

At this point the discussion is mostly theoretical and planning what-ifs. Around May 1st I think most people will know which direction they will be going as if everyone isn't done they should be extremely close. It seems 1-1.5 months is the typical update cycle.
Personally I think RP is dead and why some of the other modders are replacing functionality. Either that or they got a general ok from the leaders of the community as in the past anyone that tried was jumped on viciously and I'm not seeing that now. I could be wrong, but nonetheless the community is split and each side feels pretty strong about it. We have been fighting numerous times about it and there doesn't have to be a winner/loser unless the FTB team decides to make it that.

I don't think there is a leader in the modding community that says:
"Go ahead and work on something akin to RP2"
I think it is more people wanted to make mods similar. That is about it. I don't think Rp is dead because I firmly believe she is working on it.
