Not for a while. I last prodded them on the 8th (I've attached my last 
message FYI). There's some speculation the FSF is tied up with SCO (who 
have now expanded their claims to encompass the validity of the GPL in 
general:  and now there's also Linksys. Both are discussed here: 
http://lwn.net/Articles/50985/

However there are some steps we can take now other than the assignment to 
at least work on the vendor independence. In particular, to try and move 
as many references as possible from http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/ to 
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ including list addresses; at least as much as 
we can.

But we haven't formally agreed that everyone's okay with that. I had hoped 
before for something like ecos.gnu.org, but the FSF's position is such 
that we would only be able to get ecos.nongnu.org at present. So 
ecos.sourceware.org is the only sensible way forward IMHO as I doubt we 
want to change home pages again if and when we become official GNU. Unless 
there are objections, I'll assume that's the official stance now and we 
can look at fixing up references and set up a RedirectMatch in the httpd 
config to forward to ecos.sourceware.org.
