more or less, I doubt that we will achieve 100% in both directions.

we should be careful with spreading numbers based on wild guessing. It
requires some deeper analysis.

you are free in the work you are doing but I think it would be wrong. We
should find an agreement on the direction we want to move forward. Our
goal is to take the best of both and build the best free office suite
ever. We shouldn't split further resources by working on 2 code bases.
It will be the completely wrong signal.
I am of course against releasing 2 source releases based on 2 different
source trees.

I am surprised about such an idea
