The first release candidate of Ion3 has been released. "This is the first 'rc' or '(stable) release candidate' release of Ion3. This means that there will not be any further major changes to it. Bugs will be fixed, and as an exception to the general feature freeze, some hooks may still be added, if deemed useful. Translations may also be included. After no new bugs (that can not be deemed features) have been found in this or following 'rc' releases, the stable Ion3 will be released."

Let me get this straight: The author wants the name of the WM to refer to his codebase with no additions like Ion3v462007. And any off shoots are either not to use the name or to clearly spell out they are not Ion3. Okay, seems OK. A little annoying but fair since its his name.
Where the crunch comes in is in when somebody does a patch that changes Ion3 in a significant way. You need the approval of the author to do this since, in this theory, makes it not purely Ion3. This seems to take things a bit far and this is what OpenBSD is adjecting to.
