Seriously, this part threw me hard. Having multiple active forks is not something that's ever been considered as an option anywhere I've worked. Worse, I'm not convinced multi-repo even fixes this issue if you already have a culture that allows multiple active forks.
For instance, big app rewrite, half-new REST API on the backend. Oh, but we need to maintain the old app APIs for those who can't update (like SuperImportantCustomer). Better fork!
