No kidding.

Also, I've read in a few places that genunix.org was purchased by some  
company and that Dennis and friends had registered genunix2.org.

Seems there is more to this than just a re-org, even if that is what  
is going to happen.

Maybe someone is giving them grief, and forming a BoD is a move to  
help defend against it in the future.

I guess we'll find out... or not.
