Neutral from what / who exactly?  Compiz?  David?

Preserving posts from the beryl forum is not an argument
for creating an entirely new one.  We can copy over posts if thats
what you want.

The agreement on what we agreed to change the name of
has always been hard to define.

One day its an entirely new project, another day its just a different
domain, another day its the entire 'community', another day its a
collection of plugins... etc etc

There has never been a straight answer about what we are changing
the name of or for what reason.  This is why I am very skeptical, it
sounds to me like the same sort of logic that was used to justify the
fork originally.
