Why confusing? Add core changes to gborg, remove the core version, and
submit patches to improve the gborg version.

If you submit changes, there will be a release and it will start to
move. Making a new project just so it is new really isn't going to add
much.
As for why the core changes didn't make it into gborg, few realized
there was a gborg version because there was still a version in core CVS.
