PCLinuxOnline is reporting that Keith Parkard wants to fork the XFree86 effort and has subsequently been removed from the XFree86 core team. The issue in general. and if GNOME should send out a statement supporting Keith, is currently being discussed by various GNOME community members on the GNOME Foundation mailing list. The issue is also being discussed on slashdot.

Re: XFree86 Politics & Keith Packard

Looks like the man himself has issued a statement.

most interesting. I know very little about XFree internals but his name seems to appear on every interesting development of late so he has my (user) support.
