Of the new informal triumvirate (Roland McGrath, Joseph Myers, and Carlos O'Donell), one of them, Myers, is also a maintainer of eglibc (http://www.eglibc.org/), which has expressed a long-term interest in folding back into glibc if maintainer policies permit their goals to be accomplished via that route. Any ideas if that's going to happen?


Myers made another post[1] discussing that. Stripping away the diplomacy, the answer looks like "probably mostly".

Considering the overall circumstances, any other outcome would seem unlikely. EGLIBC only existed because of Drepper's attitudes towards embedded systems.
