Because it was agreed a long while back that this would allow us to have
a neutral forum for the merged project that wouldn't have all the
ambiguity and confusion that two separate forums would. Furthermore,
there's a good backlog of information on the Beryl forum that really
ought to be preserved if for nothing more than the poor kid who has Z
issue and someone posted Y fix a long time ago on the Beryl forum.

I'm not demanding anything other than what's already, as far as I know, been agreed upon to begin with.
