Is this really necessary? Was there any warning from you that this
would happen? If you're unhappy with the way Nix is being run, why not
bring it up and try to convince people to change the overall policy,
rather than try to fork and thereby possibly causing fragmentation in
what's already a small community. I could somehow understand it if
your decision was perceived by me as the outcome of a failed attempt
of convincing the project to go in this direction, but afaics, you
haven't even tried.

Best of luck with free-nix.

Cheers,
  Andres
