Interesting. And thank you for heads up.
I share your mixed feelings. I think it's great that noDRM has the time and energy to actively develop this plugin, but it's a little jarring to have two DeDRM plugins being developed simultaneously. I guess I would prefer if noDRM and Apprentice Harper would collaborate on a single plugin, though I understand why they may not want to do so. It will be interesting to see what happens with the two different plugins.
ETA: It looks like noDRM is taking the plugin in a direction Apprentice Alf & Harper have always avoided (decrypting rented books and removing customer identifications).

If noDRM is going to be more active that would be a good thing. A negative is that creates a third place, besides Apprentice Alf's blog and Apprentice Harper's Github, where issues will be raised and support needed.
I am curious to hear what others think about this.
