Dear Wolfgang,
As the maintainer of the ARMboot project I welcome your effort to merge the PPCboot and ARMboot sources and making them available within the U-Boot project. Here at SYSGO, we are ready to discontinue the ARMboot project in favour of U-Boot, if we can continue our work on the U-Boot source tree.
Therefore I would appreciate to have CVS write access to the U-Boot's source repository on SF.NET. Efficient Open Source development requires working along the "Release Early, Release Often" scheme. This is severely hampered if all updates are channelled through one person, who might not always be available.
With the software already growing faster than we all ever thought possible, it only makes sense to split responsibilities. For that reason, we would like to keep our attention on the ARM portions on the tree. Obviously, changes in the common code must be discussed first with the maintainers, better yet, with the community.
Also, to be honest, it appears a bit rude to me to take our ARMboot sources, and then just cut us off. It seems only natural to me that we both continue doing what we have done all along, only with more benefit for all of us.
Please let's keep this an _open_ project, not one where only one member has the power.
Best Regards, Marius
