It can be forked it if the opinions are widely shared and you think people will support you to run it better ? The tone of the article seemed to be casting shade relative to the institution funding it's development as the foundation of why there are problems ? It's normal in a large scale open lanuage there will be disagreement around direction of the project.
Many models around how those disagreements are resolved exist across many projects. You can choose one of them or build your own project and make your own decisions :)
- iends 7y agoI’m convinced that the people who just suggest forking an open source project with 100s or 1000s of man years behind it lack practical experience in building or maintaining large software systems. Dismissing valid criticism with “just fork it if you don’t agree” has got to be some of the most useless advice parroted around open source.
