That's a very good point. I remember that the other day I felt very confused
about which team to join. It wasn't clear for me what the reason was in having
two groups. I am very sure that the merge will avoid, as it has pointed out,
this kind of confusions.

This is very important, too. Every time that I have read mails regarding this
merge I think that there should be developers who in some way are happy with the
team they are involved with and that maybe it won't be that easy to achieve
this. But I believe that this change would bring its benefits.
