You're more than welcome to use git.infradead.org if you want. But even
if Milan sees the 2.32 branch as being dead and doesn't want to spend
any of his own time on it (and nobody can blame him for that), I would
hope that he wouldn't try to obstruct *you* if you feel you need to do
so.

Certainly, my point in maintaining fixes for 2.32 was *not* to
discourage people from upgrading. So if 3.0 is a viable option for you
then please do go ahead.

Having said that, the API breaks haven't *yet* reached the point where
we can't build evo-ews for 2.32 and 3.x from the *same* code base,
albeit with a number of icky ifdefs.
