This quote should go down in the history of open source :) I hope the word you're looking for is "controversy".
Yeah, "controversy" would work, But, debate and controversy are essentially the same thing, aren't they? :) Put simply, if no one can agree on what the right way is, we're not going to go anywhere, are we?

To clarify, what I really meant was that maybe Tom should wait a bit until said controversy is resolved before messing with this stuff so he doesn't waste his time.
