Glynn, Peter, Ian --

If a 0.0 starting point is what we need (and I couldn't agree more)
why aren't we considering making a.) Moinak co-"BDFL" and b.) Adopting
BeleniX version 0.6 to become "Bel-Indy" version 0.0, aka our
bootstrapping starting point?

Sorry to keep being a pest about this, but indiana-discuss is

in this regard. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_in_the_room)
