Sorry, I'm not really sure what your question is.

After being derailed recently, ReactOS is now being put back on the tracks.
There is finally a clear path starting to emerge for development to restart.
There will not be a fork, development work will continue on ReactOS.

If any of those don't answer your question, can you try to reword it please.

Ged.
