And it is being worked in that direction . It is not unintentional that KCSSU is build on top of KP50 and that KP51 includes patches from KCSSU

IMHO the Thumb2 experiment is a real success and maintaining so much flavours of CSSU plus combinations of KP and/or community kernel, is going to be a mess.
All flavors of CSSU have their respective maintainers and (un)fortunately there are only 2 kernels remaining - kernel-power and kernel-cssu ,which are kept in sync by me and Pali.

I'm also concerned that all the development seems to be in the Thumb2 branch these days, so sooner or later a lot of people will move to this "fork" of CSSU.
Well, I am not the one to decide on behalf of merlin1991 and MohammadAG. Neither I am a council member :P

On the other hand your statement is not entirely true, i.e. the development continues to happen in "master" branch, "thumb-testing" branch contains only fixes needed for thumb compatibility.

See, as joerg pointed out we have a "deal". Once there is a kernel that doesn't break kernel modules ABI, we are good to go further. Actually I tend to agree with joerg that shipping a kernel through CSSU that (eventually)breaks commercial applications is a bad, bad idea.

In that regard: Anyone using ABC and/or blessn900 with cssu-thumb? As so far those are the applications which are potentially broken by cssu-kernel.
