I like the idea. I was going to suggest that the 2.12 fork should coincide with one of HJ's releases in order to benefit from the testing that H.J. puts into his releases. As HP commented to me in private mail, H.J. is already acting as release manager. The number of people using HJ's releases should speak loudly; if he was doing something wrong there would be a large scale migration of linux users back to FSF releases. Alan
