Ok. I've been thinking it and more i think, more clear it is.

Since being nore and waiting David to catch up for U3, i started to
merge in those enahancements i've been working with. Same time i
decided to alter a little of tao-release. tao-release mod made it be
*3AS* as it's big brother with side effect that yum would look updates
under tao-3AS-<arch> instead this tao-1.0-<arch>. I put that on the
images, uploaded and before releasing those told David about the
modification. Since then we have been arguing about this and few other
things. Result being that i refuse to make any more images until i can
release those U3-images and David refusing the re-organization of
updates structure.

If my count is right, this is third time David asks me 'to just quit
with Tao Linux'. This time i do just as wished.

***********************************************************
So efective NOW, i stop maintaining any Tao Linux arches and
will direct my free time to CentOS-3, CentOS-4 and cAos-2.
************************************************************

If someone else will maintain Tao Linux x86-64, ia64, s390 and s390x,
it's fine by me, but i won't.

I'll convert my work with ia64, s390 and s390x to be Centos-3 soonish.

It was good year even tho we were pretty tight with David as of U2
already. I was just bored to death as i didn't have few crucial *TL*
SRPMS and could not release final ISOs. Had to wait some month before
finally being able to publish U2-images. As it's David's project and i
am just a sidekick here, i'll leave as it's not my project.
