Reflecting on this idea, I think it'd be good (in the long run) if this did happen. Of course the network would get disrupted, but I thought that the idea of Freenet was to have a disruption-resistant network. And a brazillion forks means many new developers trying changes. If the project doesn't reject their changes, they would become a great force for building a better Fred. OTOH, without DSCM, forked clients will still exist, it'll just be tougher to keep them up to date and to merge any improvements back to the official client. $0.02 from an oldie, E.
