+I agree on this point. It has now gone too far to go back now. The 
+Mageia project should just set itself up and then worry about this a 
+little later in the near future. It is obvious that there will be an 
+initial distro, the servers and mirrors and infrastructure is being 
+planned and the support has obviously reached enough critical mass now 
+to stand on its own.
+
+The Mandriva-Mageia or Mageia-Mandriva relationship might be considered 
+and pursued perhaps at a different time in the very near future before 
+the fork becomes a unique Mageia distro.
+
+It is probably not the right time now to divide the group and lose the 
+focus on organizing the infrastructure and hardware.
