In fact, I entirely agree with Anne, Oliver, Nicolas and Romain.
I know, easy...
For me, this "work group" is a trap for us! So we should not join it.
We must keep in mind what Mageia.Org is and why Mageia.Org is! And make 
Mandriva understand that our governance model is based on this history 
and protects us. We don't need Mandriva, it's Mandriva who need us. They 
must digest this fact!
