So, no. It is not a fork. It is a hand-over in progress.

Hard to believe that mine could be considered a fork considering that
the master differs from the "original" by moving the original README
in favour of one that recite: this is not the busybox repository, it
is my own and I do not use this. I do, you can do too.

Nope, it is NOT a fork. It is advantage of the current busybox and the
transcription of the website news in file NEWS proves it, which is the
second action that I took: 1st do a read-only 1:1 copy on codeberg,
2nd transcript the web news into NEWS, 3rd create the README.md for
presenting the github repository with all its branches.

No Tito, this is NOT a fork, this is an overthrowing Busybox current
maintainers structure and it is not an "attempt" (an attempt can fail
or succeed), I am taking it and I am taking in progressively like and
handing over that some might dislike but it is necessary.

It is not a fork, it is a hand-over and this hand-over could be
temporary (to provide back as nothing was happening apart from noise
in m-list) or definitive (and definitive means that there are two
possible outcomes: transferring the domain to me or closing it down).

And by the chronicle, I am not the "one special" to handle over. I am
the one who DID what "preservation of the knowledge" and "showing what
caused the busybox maintenance degradation". Like many other times, it
would be a surprise that someone else pop-up at the last minute and
take the place it should be assigned to me by merit (and showing what
is the source of disruption: a gilda of gamers, thus Sony/Nvidia duo).

And because the source of disruption is worth around $6T combined in
market cap (currently), I am "Leon, The Professional". Me, because
what you consider senior, like Denys or Rob Landely (before him) are
just kids in front of $6T of assets while I am here playing games. Or
better, I play games in which the chips on the table have a nominal
value of $1T which means that "consensus" is nothing.

The MAIN question is "someone" out there who sits into a nice
comfortable chair and earn millions for playing like a leader skipping
accountability like a kid, not a CxO, is explicitly conveyed in this
m-list the following message: "I can stop the development of busybox
for one or two years easily, like I did in the past because I can
wait". And my simple straightforward answer was "I grant you that the
next time you will find yourself in a critical situation, that
critical situation and your life will depend on the funny code this
list was able to deliver".

The people who wrote here are just "the anonymous ambassador" for
those who are playing poker with our butts at stake (the chips $1T are
just numbers in their banks servers). And that's because the rumor
that I am not a real person was spread. Because I am a real person, I
am not playing. Not playing here, not playing elsewhere. Obviously,
code apart, my words "a bit caustic" are not for the people I answered
but for those moving them as puppets.

Because half of the people here are puppets, otherwise they would not
even take in consideration seriously the idea that a patch, a
technical choice or the equation of gravity force could be decided by
a "democratic" process. It is the most stupid idea of history and it
pop-up only when a theocracy in full charge was trying to bend reality
to their own purpose. Only the Spanish Sacre Inquisition trial people
for assensing facts in a scientific manner, and few others.

So, no. It is not a fork. It is a backup to the status quo looking
forward to a hand over. Is "consensus" or "democracy" going to win?
Good, this also means that someone should face their fate and/or pay
in full the bill (and the bill is publicly known) to compensate for
everything / everyone has been left behind. Because system failure is
not a game of poker or chess, it is about infrastructure, about lives
lost, about civilization decay. And NO you can't decide by consensus
or democratic vote the law of physics as well as the laws of
information technology. Period.

So, no. It is not a fork. It is a hand-over in progress.
