Meant by what part of the above response?  Written 6 months ago?

What did you think I meant about what?

Again, I have no objection to people forking projects, it's great, and
fun to watch happen.  Fork away on your own site, with whom ever you
want to.

But if this fork is now the "official Gentoo fork", owned by the Gentoo
Foundation, and it's the way forward that Gentoo the distro is going to
take with regards to how the boot process works on the system, then I
have something to say about it, as it affects me, a Gentoo developer.

And that is how this thread started, I wanted to know what was the
resolution of the council meeting with the very unclear and vague
meeting minutes.  I have yet to get that answer, which is troubling.

thanks,
