Just wanted to chime in here again because I'm worried about what I
see going on.  It looks to me like the future will see Robert
maintaining OSG and Don maintaining Producer.  There have been a lot
of grim statements made about this today, but I don't see much cause
for alarm.

There will probably be some refactoring on both OSG and Producer in
the next week or two, which will cause compatibility issues briefly.
This is the nature of CVS; things don't always work but they get fixed
eventually.  Having everything working is what release versions are
for.  Once things settle out in a week or two I predict everything
will work alright.

Today I have seen creation of new mailing lists and talk of forking
projects to keep everything working.  I don't see any good coming from
this.  All that is likely to come from these actions is for people to
take sides and form cliques.  Who needs that?  For the good of the
OSG/Producer community, how about if we keep this discussion on this
mailing list (where it belongs) instead of creating new lists.  And
maybe we can take a few days to let some of these project changes
settle in and get completed and not have any more knee-jerk reactions.
May cooler heads prevail.....
