Please, allow me to ask some questions:
1. It was proposed "During last week's Collab summit" and now it is 
decided already?
2. Do you have a link to the discussion on LKML or somewhere else?
3. Did you voted on fb.com or on LKML during?
4. Is there a link to the vote or any related informations?
5. You mean with "April 1st" since today respectively yesterday LKML 
will be stopped to function?
6. And with "eco system" you mean that a majority of the Linux 
maintainers want to use fb.com for the development of Linux?

Honestly, I do not find this funny somehow, but a little curious.



Best regards
