I almost completely agree with CyberShadow, though the problem with fragmentation isn't only caused by forks...my rant on this http://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2013/10/22/open-source-proliferation-problem/ http://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2013/10/22/open-source-prolifer... But fragmentation is going to happen and occasionally something really better comes along that wouldn't have from improving existing things. So I'm just as interested in making 'natural selection' work better. Now, it's extremely hard for it to operate, because it's hard to discern differences among similar projects, let alone which is better. Popularity data might help a little bit.
