It depends whether Mandrake's long term plan is to remain as a copy-cat distribution, or if it has more ambitious plans to fill the market it is targetting so effectively now. If you can honestly be described as the best linux distribution for a given group, is it good enough to simply tweak someone else's product. Especially when the 'tweak' is not always competently executed. 6.0 was a tweak too far IMHO, and I believe that divergence could be the road to success for Mandrake.
