No, I'm saying that they might not welcome the use of their disk space
and CVS server to maintain part of a project that they can't take any
benefit from. If they accept replacing Kaffe's Java Core Library with
GNU Classpath's, that's great. If they do not, we have two options:
1) keep trying to duplicate the Classpath effort
2) branch off Kaffe and adopt Classpath.
Neither option seems very good to me, but if Tim and Peter say `no' to
adopting Classpath's work, we don't have any other...
