It is a total shame that they are doing this.  What next are they going 
to request all that are connected to the LibreOffice community that to 
stop being part of the OOo community?  Those that are working on the 
Documentation project can not be connected to the LibO documentation 
project?  What about the Distribution Project members?  Can't offer 
both?  What about the user support from the community members, not be 
allowed on mailing list for both projects.
