Yes, however I think we should not insist on the possible
misunderstandings in our communication/discussion, but focus on the
good parts, questions will come afterwise (and that's good too):

 - it's great, for everyone, because Mageia is a strong platform;
Mandriva will benefit from it for their server product; and Mageia
will benefit from it from possible Mandriva contributions;
 - it shows that Mageia has reached quite a milestone;
 - it's not revolutionary (Mageia is expected to be used for
derivative projects), but it's cool to see Mandriva acknowledge what
we did, in some way;
 - of course, this does not impact how the project is governed,
because it's unrelated.

If we keep on insisting at first on the potential misunderstandings,
people will focus on that. And the core news is not about potential
mishaps, but about a company that is using technology from a open
source project for their own products.

Of course, if people raise questions, and only then, it will be a good
time to reassure everyone. It's better to do it in this order, because
it will let us know what are exactly the concerns of people out there,
instead of guessing about these.

Right. The privacy of the info is because the move is on Mandriva's
part, not ours.
