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.
