I think this is a very reasonable stance to take. We need a clean break
just now, but after a year, if Mandriva management has proved that it
can participate in a true community-led project, then some form of
participation in the board is an option to consider at that time.

Like you said, trust is earned, not implied and I think this is a very
reasonable way to deal with the issue over the next year.
