Not calling it a GNOME project and forking are completely different things.

You can still use the gnome-panel and metacity Git repositories but not prefix
the name of the whole desktop environment with GNOME. The names of the binaries
and the Git repositories are implementation details which most users won't
notice. What they will notice is the name GNOME Xyz, and they will interpret it
as an official GNOME project, which it is not.

Personally, I always interpreted Vincent's request as an invitation to the MATE
developers. I just find it amusing that they decided to fork the whole of GNOME
2.x without talking to anybody, and hence I am curious about the value of yet
another DE with GNOME 2.x components when MATE already exists.
