I'm coming around to this point of view - there's a point where it is less 
damaging to actually fork than to keep on arguing about what to do to avoid 
forking...

 From the DRI people's point of view, it leads to more work as we'd want our 
drivers to work with both trees -- but that's pretty much life, and we'll have 
to do what we can to minimize the effects on us.
