    You may be right about not enough volunteers, which would be   
   to the detriment of both.  It looks like a considerable portion of   
   this newsgroup has already switched to Mageia but is still posting   
   questions here.  OTOH this NG is one of the reasons I've stayed with   
   Mandr*.  I suppose I'll have to research both (maybe even install   
   both dual-boot) and see which one is better for me (for my   
   definition of "better").
