Is forking good for open-source software?
,----[ Quote ]
| Forking can be good, and in many cases has allowed projects that were stalled
| to go on to bigger and better things. In some cases, the new project has
| actually been eventually folded back into and replaced the original project,
| the most notable being the GNU C Compiler (gcc), which was forked as the EGCS
| project and then folded back in.
