Depends what you mean important, it seems to be about visible and new.

procps forked recently and it's basically driven by Debian, Fedora and
SuSE plus some other volunteers; though there has been some help from
RedHat.  The fork  happened mainly because we were sick of holding onto 
our respective set of patches (Debian had 75, now 30)

Of course we had a regression bug :( so I'm off to check out Dejagnu.

I happen to like the open model, ever tried to resurrect old closed
software?  Actually just getting hold of the data is bad enough.
