I am not forcing anything to anyone (as you have the habit to throw in as an argument at people that do not agree with you on this). Every decision one makes, doing nothing, go left or right, effects other people and can thereforce be interpreted as "forcing".

Now how can we proceed in your view? Can you make Merlin1991 interested again (you guys frequently meet on IRC). Can you perhaps play a role in these HAM changes? I lack the knowledge for sure. I am not that must interested how we get there (your proposed way, seperate repos or whatever), but that some progress is made this after 18 month.

P.s. and just my humble advice (not forcing anything on anyone ): try to stay away from the unneeded F-words. It would make this place so much more relaxed...

P.s. 2: I see you edited your post and now stating that HAM changes are no longer needed? Did your view change on this? It was very clearly defined as a condition back then.
