Yes. Unless it is actually agreed by consensus of the project
communities themselves, it will not fly. If it is imposed by the
Foundation, the community will, as has been discussed, get up and
*leave*. Saying "a fork will happen" is not a threat of forking, it's
a statement of what it's *utterly obvious* will happen in the case of
a top down imposition. I might be wrong in saying that, but I don't
think I am.
