This is not for us to decide. We have forked, we should not destroy what's 
left. Let the people who will continue working on the old branch do what they 
like.

A case could perhaps be made for applications like Krita where the maintainer 
and the developer group has decided to move rather than fork, but let's not 
touch the other apps.
