  Sorry, but you asked for objections, and here it is: are there
grounds for new product and project focused around *its* development
(you told that "old" OPIE (opie0 ?) remains where it was) to be named
just the same as old product/project hosted in another place?

  I suggest that you either disclose your plans, or do favor to users
and don't confuse them by calling two pretty different things by the same
name (and again, I base on your previous claims that OpieII won't be
compatible with OPIE, in the sense that all application will require
not just patching, but rewriting from scratch).

  If what I write is not relevant, then again, can you please provide
more detailed feature, development, and release planning info. Saying
that it is based on qtopia 4.2 is saying too little for many people,
I'm afraid.
