    Do we really need another fork? We all remember the last time when the community was divided. It is never easy to marge branches of forked codebase tree. I think Eric Raymond has described all of the disadvantages of frivolous forking more than inadequately. The open source community is already using CVS, RCS, Rsync, Bytekeeper and Subversion. Wouldn't our creative resources be better invested if we tried to integrate some of the already available systems instead of dividing them even more?
