You mischaracterize the situation badly.  Dillon lost his commit bit
because he didn't play well with others.  The deeper technical issues
aren't as cut and dried as you make them sound.  Dillon's
contributions, while interesting in their own right, wouldn't have
completed SMP.  And the specific point of contention has been finished
now for at least 6 months.
