I heard something but not a great amount...
There seems to have been somewhat of a falling out between the two. Harsh words exchanged and the like...

Some game commentators argued with the guy that started working on the game but then did feth all after he got a team to help, big deal.
So basically he went from designer to producer once he had a team to work for him. I agree with you, what's wrong with that?

Minecon wasn’t quite the Minecraft celebration developer Markuss “Notch” Persson was expecting. In fact, it’s the fallout that followed that’s put it in many gaming sites’ headlines – including Edge’s. It seems Notch and Minecraft-centric video podcast Yogscast had something of a falling out at the show.
Seemingly, it all comes down to Yogscast’s behaviour during Minecon. Notch started subtly without naming names, tweeting: “I’m very sorry about the behavior of the people we won’t work with any more. Celebrity or not, you don’t f-bomb kids.” This was rapidly followed up with, “Yes, Yogscast.”
Notch’s comments infuriated some of Yogscast’s 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, but the developer justified his tweets. “Yogscast repeatedly insulted people, talked behind their backs, refused to cooperate, and acted like total spoiled divas nonstop,” he tweeted. “They called us ‘a bunch of nerds who don’t know how to run a company’, demanded that we pay them to come here (nobody else got paid).”
Yogscast have yet to respond to Notch’s accusations – their latest tweet says: “give them 24 hours or so to create an official statement”. However, a post on Reddit retweeted by Yogscast defends the podcasters, reading: “I’m a little disappointed there is this much hate and discontent going about without folks knowing the whole story”. Another Reddit user and podcaster, John “TotalBiscuit” Bain reckoned it was all down to Yogscasts’ cheekily British sense of humour, describing them as two “British guys that are known to take the piss”.
It’s a contentious situation, and one that could have come from the pages of a rock star’s autobiography rather than a gaming convention. It’s indicative of how much things have changed, too. These YouTube stars and game developers have been working on nothing more than virtual products, and both have become internet sensations on the back of one another. As Edge’s Alex Wiltshire points out, “A relationship that was once simple and symbiotic has developed complications – and grown apart.”
General internet discussion believes overwhelmingly that the rift is little more than a misunderstanding between the two parties. But what do you guys think?

1) We get one side of the story.
2) We get mad at the people made out to be bad by this story.
3) We get the other side of the story.
4) We get mad at the original people because they didn't tell us about things originally.
5) We get more accounts.
6) We decide they were both in the wrong for various reasons.
7) There is much rejoicing, singing, dancing, and orgies to celebrate.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I thought the interview they did was a little awkward/forced...
I don't blame the yogscast tbh, mojang is a shambles (other than jeb) and we brits do tend to take the piss out of everything. I'm quite confident that at least some of the friction is due to normal english jokes not quite translating well/cultural difference.
PS, is everyone ok with having two circle lines like this for the rail system?
If there are no complaints I'll do a neat version then we can start working.
And a reminder, make sure to build nether side versions of all your portals! Otherwise you will link to a nearby one in the nether.

Won't have time building a nether portal tonight. It'll be up tomorrow afternoon. Hope it won't cause any problem.

Mine'sl ikely to be off the track, but I'll build a cobble and glass tunnel to it.

First off, it's probably best if it doesn't circle directly to the closest portals. There's going to be a lot of far-off portals and other new places that would then need to be added to a system, giving more and more loops and just confusing the heck out of everthing.
I'd suggest instead, not making the rail system go directly to the portals. Make one large loop (and I'm talking BIIIGGGG! Like, NSEW to around 2 or 3000 blocks out big, if not further) on a level that isn't the main portal level (maybe lower, like around y50 or so?) Then, at the nearest point to the other portals, put a station that loops to those ones. So instead of a bunch of loops (and this is future talk here) that looks like tangled chainmaille, it ends up more like a web or branching tree, where a person could go from Sanc on the single main line to the proper station, then go from that station to the portal. It also allows for easier expansion, since you can then simply add another large loop attached to the main one via a station, and have branches off that one.
You guys can be responsible for the main loops, and anyone else would have to do the branch loops to their own places.

Agreed. No more ghasts freaking me out by looking through the windows, and then in time we can replace the netherrack walls with something more appealling.

Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The rail line will be in the nether and surrounded by cobble tunnels as it was before.
I disagree with the idea of having one huge circle line as it would take an age to get to your destination, the idea of having two initial circle lines is that non-tracked tunnels will come off the lines stations to go to the nearby portals.
As the map expands if new clusters form that are not easily covered by non-railed tunnels then we can simply build another circle line.
