Who is "we"? Let's use proper names please, and take some 
responsibility.

In any case, I really think these vague threats are pretty 
reprehensible marbux. Even if I agree with one or two of your points on 
conformance, I certainly don't think the TC should be moved by your 
tactics.

And not only will I not have anything to do with a fork of ODF, I will 
publicly call it what it is: a self-serving and petty effort at 
extortion.
