+Exactly my opinion. texstar had his reasons (his opinion) to leave
+Mandriva, actually he was the first to fork Mandrakelinux (as it was
+called by that time). All those who are thinking about some merge or
+whatever with PCLOS should keep that in mind.

+As Oliver and Nicolas I would welcome anybody joining Mageia but now
+that this new project is on its way to find its identity it should not
+give up any of that by joining other existing projects.
