+Thanks. That makes sense. Sorry, I was still thinking the "Mandriva 
+corporate" way. So, we are pretty well left at the mercy of the devs 
+interest with this regard. (I don't mean to sound negative, but more 
+realist in saying this.)
+
+Do you know, out of interest, if there are more KDE or Gnome devs 
+interested in the Mageia project or if this is till too early to tell?
+
+Also, out of interest, how hard is it to maintain both from a dev point 
+of view (time-wise etc.)? (I'm sure others will jump in and ask for 
+other desktop manager here too.)
