Horrible name.

In any event, I would suggest waiting about a month or so before any such
discussions; by that time, the judge in the USL v BSDI and State of
California suit should have returned, and made a decision on BSDI's motion
for dismissal.  At that point, whether or not a potentially short-lived
group should exist can be discussed more fully.
