Some of the larger dev shops that use wordpress as a core should work together to start a non-profit foundation, then fork it.
This model has proven successful before in other projects faced with similar issues
- dwd 8y agoThe Joomla fork of Mambo is a good example.

And then you don't lose the infrastructure, updates, security, events, the benefits of the thousands of people who work on making some part of WordPress better every day.
