I'm more than happy to discuss it on-list, but I felt it worthwhile to
discuss this in detail with the aXon team. As I said, I was surprised
that there was no contact before the announcement of the fork.

I sincerely wish the aXon team all the best and am eager to work with
them for the benefit of all. However, building, supporting and maintaining
a distribution is a distinctly non-trivial task.

I feel we would all be better served by thinking about how we
could maintain two streams - one with 2.2.19+ext2 and another with
2.4+JFS/XFS/ext3 

For example, we could discuss how to provide hooks in the installer
so that options were available for those who wanted the leading edge
packages. I see this as a major win for all.

Thanks,

Gordon
