That’s the feeling that many of us shared several weeks ago, that we
shouldn’t do any branding other than GNU.

OTOH, it’s become clear that we’d have no support in doing that and no
influence over the GNU “brand”; in that sense, we would have to spend a
lot of energy for a result that may be unsatisfying.  I suspect Felipe
reached the same conclusion.

We continue to support GNU obviously, and I hope we can contribute to an
evolution in this area, even if not as directly as initially planned.

Does that make sense?
