New users for Mageia (not seen yet) or new customers for Mandriva company?

I think it would be essential for existing users of Mandriva to see
clearly the position of Mageia vs. Mandriva.

Pardon my &quot;politically incorrect&quot; questions, but nevertheless:

1) Is Mageia just a publicity stunt to generate some more users for
the same Mandriva, as it might be understood from your letter?

2) Is Mageia a &quot;better Mandriva&quot; keeping good values of Mandriva, as
it might be understood from Jerome Quelin letter in
<A HREF="http://lwn.net/Articles/406058/">http://lwn.net/Articles/406058/</A>  ?

3) Is Mageia some completely new distribution to be built from scratch
and having nothing in common with Mandriva Linux, as it might be
understood from several letters here in mageia-discuss list?

So, which is real position of Mageia (if any)?
