I think that will be the natural progression, and it will probably be a
good thing in the long run. Those who actually know qmail and understand
it's operation will provide the best packaged solutions, and those who
do not know qmail will gravitate to those products. In the end, the
cream will rise to the top.
You are probably right that is what will happen. I don't have to like
it though. :) I think there should be one qmail, and the next version
should be qmail-1.05 -- exactly the same thing as you get from
netqmail-1.05. Then add the ability to control common patches with a
./configure script.
The question in my mind is who will own the name qmail, and what
product, if any, will bear that name.
I don't know if it'll be approved, but I got the qmail project name on
SourceForge, minutes after I heard it was put in public domain.
