In my opinion: yes. In redeclipse and redeclipse2.

They changed the engine, the UI, the movement system. They changed all
maps and reduced them from 46 to 7 and wrote that they want to focus
on the gameplay of those maps instead of providing more of them.

The distance from redeclipse to redeclipse2 is about as far as to
xonotic.

redeclipse2 runs stable here. I rand into one segfault after an hour
of gameplay. It runs good enough on my integrated Vega7 (RENOIR 27)

I'm for splitting. We can still have the discussion to drop the legacy
redeclipse in future. My feeling is that it will live on by the
community and by people that want to play custom maps.

just my 2 cents,
Stefan
