It is fork for the code that we changed (acc module, usrloc module ...), 
in the future may be other that they do not find the path in SER. We 
will maintain and upgrade our part of code from SER continuously.

I see no fragmenting there -- the situation is the same for SER as it 
was before. For example, there is no fragment for acc module, it will be 
maintained by who did it till now, adding what he considers necessary 
there. But we came to meet a lot of requests of why the acc patch is not 
included in the CVS (it was fully backward compatible and had new 
features requested by many SER users) and we want to promote _more open_ 
approach to contributions to all parts of code. The acc patch was sent 
on November 1, 2004. No real response (neither negative, nor positive) 
from maintainer to the submission since then ... are you aware of a good 
reason?!?! ... should we wait just about (or more) half an year for each 
contribution?!? I will not do that anymore!!!
