Looking through all the messages in this thread, I think you are very much in the minority by saying that.
Other posters seem to have suggested that a) there would be overlap, and it would be a good thing or b) there would be overlap, and it would be a bad thing.

that it is not a fork, that it is a perfectly appropriate use of our resources, and that this discussion should end pretty soon.
Much of "this discussion" has been about how the two projects could scratch each other's backs in the best way. Clearly that needs to be ongoing.
