The reality of the situation is that there are at least 129 distributions derived form Debian and the number is going to grow. Some of those forks can be rolled back into the fold with a little effort but for political, social, personal, and technical reasons, one Debian *will* not serve everybody. One size doesn't fit all. CDDs are one *great* way to solve this problem but it's worth pointing out that on a certain level, they also often end up as forks. Institutional separate of many types projects also can fulfill a useful role. I agree with Anthony points out. Forks *can* improve Debian. It should be our goal and the goals of derivers to avoid forks where it's possible and beneficial and to mitigate their negative effects so that we *all* benefit when it's not.
