As others have mentioned, forking WordPress won't help. Writing abstraction layers might help a little (I've done that myself a few times) but instead, if you use WordPress, I'd encourage you to get involved with improving it directly. It's a slow process (especially as WordPress still supports PHP 5.2) but there is progress.
If you know PHP then there's loads of issues you could get involved with to help move it forward. Here's just 4 that could do with some attention:
* PSR-0 autoloader http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21300 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21300
* Use a Symfony style request object instead of globals http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22325 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22325
* Use PDO for database access http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21663 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21663
* PSR compatibility http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23357 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23357
