Continuing the discussion from The Manjaro Project e.V. is now official! and given that the proposed thread is closed:
Roughly speaking, what kind of timeframe are we talking about?
Linuxiac has published an article:
…The association is now formally registered, and so one of the key aims of the manifesto has been realized. The announcement does not state whether the proposed transfers of the trademarks and other assets have in fact taken place.
Perhaps the most important point is the actual evolution of the distribution. The most recent testing and stable updates were kicked off by the Manjaro team themselves, without any oversight from MĂĽller.
This points to the developers having already started to operate on their own in an area which was previously the preserve of the project’s founder. They’re also in the process of optimizing their dev infrastructure, in part as a response to the continued automated bot attacks on the existing infrastructure.
For Manjaro users, it’s worth noting that this change doesn’t amount to a new distribution release, doesn’t in any way alter the Arch Linux base that Manjaro is built on, and doesn’t require any action on the part of the user. It’s simply a change of who runs the project, who makes the development decisions, and who controls the infrastructure that the distribution runs on.

The time that will be necessary, no more, no less. We cannot give certain dates; for the end user as written by Linuxac there will be no repercussions, we will work behind the scenes to make both parties satisfied after all there is a commercial entity as an interlocutor.
