Hey, if that's the way it works out, so be it. I am willing to take that
chance. I'd be a martyr even.

Now sarcasm is something that people aren't going to be too keen on ;)

I didn't say anything about a fork, and if anyone wants to start a fork
because we decide to do a little house cleaning, then they are probably
just making our (the house cleaners') lives easier. If you've seen
spanky's artwork, you'll know I'm an elitist prick, and seeing a group
of devs leave probably won't hurt my feelings. Then we can drop all the
ebuilds they maintained, and really do some portage tree slimming for
ciaranm. Two birds with one stone, etc, etc.
