In my opinion evolution doesn't only mean bring new leaf branches in and let others die (when people abandon a specific LEAF distro and move on to a "better" one which seems to be happened in the past). This is a very natural process I think, a LEAF branch developer gets frustrated when the momentum is switching from one branch to the other and users abandon its branch. This is more revolution than evolution :-)
A new project doesn't have to mean someone creating all the packages and functionality again, it doesn't have to be all about the "core". There is room enough for projects creating webconf interfaces (like Nathan explained this doesn't have to be for Bering-uClibc exclusively) or creating images for specific functionality (using the big repository of available packages). It's just what you define as "evolution". We are not the dominant branch because we gained enough support, we are the most active and didn't abandon our project, that's the only thing.
