People around util-linux-ng are not so naive ;-)
We spent last month with discussion about a way how (non-)fork this
project. We made decision that a fork is the right way, because
Adrian Bunk completely ignores __everyone__ who wants to talk with
him about utils-linux.
A fork is nothing attractive, but it's also a way how improve things
in Open Source world.
The goal is not only improve source code, but also a way how this
project is maintained (mailing list, discussion about changes, git,
transparent development, ...).
