No, the Legacy Project has _proposed_ to that, at least in your opinion.
It was followed by something like "unless we get a lot of objection" so
please, if you object, let it be known.

Yes, we lose a few people from the community every time this issue comes
up.  I guess the hope is we will gain more if we release more, but I'm not
sure it is true (hasn't been so far, as far as I can tell).

No, it was proposed that we merge them, but it is still under consideration,
and can still be blocked.  Your action is a bit premature.  But then,
considering some of the responses you have received in e-mail (like having
to pay to be notified) I don't blame you too much.

Of course your choice...
