Last attempt at reconciliation

I have been thinking some more about my position.

I would like to present Michael the following final offer at a 
compromise:

I be allowed to fork KMail and begin work on KMail2 a mail client 
largely based on KMail but with the intention of making radical
fundamental changes to the core architecture as I describe in
my "Stuff I'm working on" mail.

Would that be acceptable?

This would be somewhat similar to what my predecessor Stefan Taferner 
attempted.

An example of where KMail and KMail2 would differ is that KMail would
take the more conservative approach of embedding components like
KOrganizer in it, while KMail2 would take the more radical approach of 
making a component out of KMail and embedding that KMail component in 
other applications.

Does that sound agreeable?

Yours hopefully,
Don.
