good grief!
i never said you were bad people. i have a lot of respect for you and
chris. i was just puzzled and bit bothered that you would fork Muse
and announce OOM2 without anything that notified people of that
relationship. If you had forked *any* existing project of that size,
for *any* purpose, I would have thought it would be common, normal
practice to do make that link so that people (users, developers,
supporters etc.) could make that link too.
apparently, you feel otherwise. that's fine, just a little odd for
most open source projects, that's all.

Possibly you want to choose your words more carefully.
I have worked my but off for the last month. My head is burning from
no sleep. My team is worn down from no sleep and it all started with
Ardour falling apart in our studios.
As I said there would be no oom2 if not for Ardour coming down around
us. Sad I had to say this publicly, however you picked the location.
You have no place to try to do such damage.
So, you spent a whole month on a fork of Muse because of a problem you
found in Ardour and you claim it is Ardours fault that you didn't
acknowledge the heritage of your new project?
Seems a bit rash to me. 320+ hours of dev time on the problem in Ardour
would probably have fixed the issue you claim as a blocker.
New projects are fine and working from existing codebases is definitely
the way to go but creating a whole new project because of a limitation
you have found in an existing actively developed and maintained project
seems like a waste of time and unnecessary fragmentation to me.
