Since I think I kicked this off: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11217.html let me say that it was a general question and not one aimed at any current or planned fork. I just thought that for some people, it might be possible to start with something but take it in a very / completely different direction. So different that to name the one as a fork of the other might confuse people as to what the forked program was useful for.
