I see your point, but support is precisely one of the main reasons driving me to do this : at least on OS X we'd be supporting Rosegarden and Rosegarden only, rather than every distrib's own sound setup. Not to mention building environments, and depending on distribs to provide up-to-date packages of our own code. > However, I don't see any way not to call this a fork, Guillaume.
