Forks ?

Apologies for barging in. On some roads people drive in the left lane, on other roads people drive on the right. It helps though to clarify, which rules apply on each road. Middle of the road drivers take risks and endanger other drivers. Is there any particular reason why the bleeding edge camp, would not fork the GHC repo and go wild, no holds barred ? Or even do a number of repos, each starting with a clean slate ? This would make it a fairly clean experiment. It should be possible to compare the outcome.
