By analogy its not terribly far off from Debian issuing a "testing" branch off "unstable" a couple years or decade ago. Its a little more extreme than that, but not much. Usually forks are more dramatic. This isn't MariaDB or something like that. For PR reasons they probably should have stolen the Debian "testing" vs "unstable" names instead of getting all forky which is scarier sounding.
