I could understand a fork if the e-smith team had been unresponsive or
if the e-smith server had gone in a direction that was unacceptable to
a significant part of the community.
But it seems to me that neither is the case here - the e-smith team
are being justifiably conservative given their primary constituency
(i.e. SME's without high level/dedicated sysdmin resources). And they
have indicated that 2.4 plus journalled file systems will happen.
Surely it would make better sense, as Gordon has suggested, to maintain
two streams?
Or are there other (non-technical) issues that I'm not aware of?
Just my 2c worth ...
