Are you saying that you just didn't take over maintainership and now we > will have two versions of util-linux!? :/ People around util-linux-ng are not so naive ;-) We spent last month with discussion about a way how (non-)fork this project. We made decision that a fork is the right way, because Adrian Bunk completely ignores __everyone__ who wants to talk with him about utils-linux. A fork is nothing attractive, but it's also a way how improve things in Open Source world. The goal is not only improve source code, but also a way how this project is maintained (mailing list, discussion about changes, git, transparent development, ...).
