Nobody is stopping you from doing that.  Please do feel free to tell all your 
musician friends about the great OS-X sequencer you work on, when you get 
your new project started.

I bear you no ill will in this, and I understand about losing heart and 
wanting to change.  You were my mentor, and without you, I wouldn't be here 
at all, but you aren't sufficiently important to this project to dictate 
something like this unilaterally.  No one of us is.

You made your case, and nobody is buying it, Guillaume.  It isn't that you 
have one or two objectors here, but that you have no supporters for this 
notion except yourself; at least not within the existing Rosegarden 
community.  We would prefer to persuade you to come around to a more sensible 
position, but if that is impossible, then it is clear that you need to start 
a new project.  It might even be a successful project, but neither of us 
needs the eventual confusion that would be caused by two totally different 
Rosegardens that both run on OS-X.  It's the Rosegarden 2 vs. Rosegarden 4 
thing on steroids.

It bothers me that you are so high on the smell of your own farts that you 
can't comprehend that moving Rosegarden to a platform that doesn't even exist 
in my universe is only an improvement to my job of supporting it because I am 
effectively out of any job at all after that move.

No.  Hell no.
