Hardly an objective distinction. How about these:

1. Those who want Marathon to be as close as possible to original but
improved in ways that do not alter the parts of it we would like to
preserve, such as the gameplay.

2. Those who want to make a very different game based on the Marathon engine.

I side with #1: Improve Marathon, but keep the important stuff that
makes it better than other games. OpenGL is good because it makes the
graphics better, jumping and headshots are bad because they interfere
with existing maps and change the gameplay in unexpected ways. If you
want an ultra-realistic game play Deus Ex. If you want to have a lot of
fun, play Marathon. I would like that to remain true.
