   For my part, it didn't seem like a revolution at all to go with Mageia.   
   It was more like Mandriva left me - I didn't leave Mandriva. Mageia   
   is/was what the old Mandriva would have become, had it stayed the   
   course. Mandriva became the fork. Very much the way things unfolded with   
   LibreOffice and OpenOffice.
