Hi! Sorry, but even the subject of the osnews article is poor sensantion-making! There simply never was a plan about splitting up from GNU other than Philip has raised this as last consequence in a (quite useless, personal, etc.) discussion with RMS. Read the whole thread (it's less than 1000 messages...) if you really want to see the point of the discussion if it in the end still had one. Without wanting to be rude, you are the perfect example that I think this mailing list should be * private * members only because otherwise we end up with even more noise on so called "News"-sites that is mostly wrong and isn't any good on the project. In the end I would like to ask you to not spread such nonsense and to try to check that "News"-articles really have any substance.
