free-nix as a chance: See happening to Mandriva / Mageia: http://www.linuxplanet.com/news/mandriva-rejoining-mageia-fork-as-mint-freshens-up-linux.html
This post (German) says that 30 previous employees started this fork: http://www.heise.de/open/meldung/Fork-soll-Mandriva-retten-Update-1081897.html I fear all the overhead (duplicate wiki, duplicate mailinglist, duplicate hydra, ...) In the end everything is open source - so projects can pick ideas from each other .. so you're right there is not that much to worry about in the end.
