The question for me is rather why desiredata announcements are posted
into the PD-list given that the codebase has moved away in a way that
makes it impossible to transfer most of the features.
Although I find DD an interesting project, it's essentially off-topic
for the pd-list.

Hm, I can't quite agree with that; how would I know about DD if such announcements were not made? DD is still undoubtedly Pd, even with its myriad modifications.  I'd very much like to continue being informed about its progress (and sure, I am on the DD list, but again, we do not ban discussion of GEM on the Pd-list).

 
Regardless of the differences in developer opinions (and I think these are made to be more acerbic than necessary, especially for such enjoyable and exciting software, though perhaps I interpret incorrectly), DD is Pd to me!
