As Richard explained, this might be a bit dangerous adventure for packman. Apart from that I would say that motivation for moving to packman is a bit weak - my understanding is that move is motivated by hurt feelings after discussion about copyright attribution with OP, and by his opposition against including hamradio/sdr stuff in Factory and Leap. This would basically go against most of recent efforts to move everything that is possible/allowed to OBS/Leap/Factory and would put additional load on packman's resources, which are much more scarce than those of OBS.
