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.
