[dev] Announcing the GRRouting fork

[David Lamparter]

Dear all,


it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that due to the way the FRR
project has been developing, another fork has become inevitable.

I expect that a majority of you are already aware of the ongoing issues we've
been having with the community.  There simply is no opportunity for any real
expression of anger and disdain at the project maintenance.  This is very
concerning and alienates a large portion of amoeba from participating and
contributing constructively.

As such, I have been left with no other choice than to create the GRRouting
fork.

GRRouting's goals and objectives are summarized handily by our new slogan:
"putting the GRR back in routing."  Of course this applies to development and
community standards as well.

Our goals will be to deliver software capable of evoking high-quality cursing
at your routers.  The very first feature will be to implement IP GRR, also
known as anGry ReRoute.  The plan for this feature is to incorporate a VoIP
client and speech synthesis software to expedite waking up network
administrators at 3 AM to have them drive to a datacenter to plug some cable.

I am confident everyone sees the absolute necessity of this fork.

Saddened but relieved by this finally being out in public,
