I also would like to wish Adrian good luck with his fork. For the record, we did ask Adrian to consider continue working within the Squid project, without placing any restrictions on his activities (so all the work Adrian mentions above would be accepted), but obviously Adrian thinks he must fork. Personally, I do not see enough technical reasons for this fork, but all my attempts to clarify the motivation behind it or prevent it have failed. Alex.
