not really - there's a lot of existing investment in wordpress which would be lost if this is the case. I think it's better for wordpress community to push out Mullenweg, and establish a community owned source. It is both a fork, but not just of the source code. I think surviving this sort of disaster makes the whole stronger/resilient in the future. Starting anew will surely just have history repeat.
