Well, it's not a hijack yet, I hope. We can see what Thierry does, and if
he still wants to maintain it before actually doing any uploads with this
work. At that point, we can contact Marcelo and see what he thinks. As it
stands, I don't think anyone but Marcelo really wants to deal with the
packaging in its current state, and since it's clear that we want someone
more active than him maintaining mesa, I'll support Thierry if he decides
to go through with this. I hope we can all come to a happy ending here
though.
