Well, firstly -- are we sure that a package review request is exactly the best
place to discuss this?

Lightly put -- renaming namespace is not the best idea, doing it twice after
most users moved to the new namespace deliberately breaking compatibility is
downright stupid.

I believe noone contained either trilead or ganymed because both parties
demonstrated their uninterest in the code base. I have not learned about
regained interest in ganymed until after we've got involved in orion-ssh2 to
get the project back to life. It's fine that you don't like our efforts, but
you're to blame for the mess and all the private forks of ssh2, not us.

I find it unfair that you accuse us of not giving a proper credit. We've taken
the trilead code base as it was; basically only change we did was changing the
project name in README, which was because Trilead is a trade mark and to avoid
confusion.

Moreover, we've carefully preserved every single bit of authorship information
about the code we pulled in from third parties in GIT and documented it in
license file. Could we do more?

It matters here, I guess.

Well, I strongly prefer the idea of having just a single code base if possible.
Therefore, if newly respawned ganymed-ssh2 proves viable (at the very least by
having  IntelliJ IDEA, Hudson and DSSH switched to it), I'm happily going to
loose interest in orion-ssh2 and will withdraw this review request:

PS: If you're going to pull from us, please do so from GIT, where commit
metadata is preserved, unlike from SVN:

Thank you in advance
