Hi Andrej,
You don't mention TurboClusterServer 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
Here's a posting on this mailing list from one of your people

we receive similar abject apologies when you forget to mention us in
subsequent announcements.

You people read our mailing lists, have access to our code and yet never
contribute anything here. Yet you are quick enough to pop up and defend
your clean room reconstruction of our code, whenever it's mentioned. If
you were really doing this independently of us, you wouldn't be on our
mailing list. If you were on this mailing list in good faith, you would
have contributed something by now.
