This is what we call "compromise". It takes time and effort, but
the end result is a good one: one program instead of two, and lack
of duplication of effort.
Forks are bad, mmmkay?
I am willing to compromise in many areas to reach this goal.
So far, your idea of compromise seems to be, "we'll just go work
on our fork in our own way and ignore yours entirely."
If that's going to be your attitude, then I must ask that you not
ship my program, xscreensaver, with GNOME.
Because I've done the fork thing before, and it sucks, and I'm not
doing it again.
