Let me cut to the chase: I'd rather see Ecartis development continue, not an 
outright fork.  Continue under a new team of developers, with guidance and 
participation from the existing developers (at least for a transition 
period).  

IMO, forks should be reserved for when something's wrong with the current 
product, when it's being actively developed in the wrong direction.  What we 
have here is a lack of progress, so a change in leadership is needed if 
anything, not a fork.  Again, IMO.  

When you think about it, if a fork were actually necessary and practical, it 
would've happened already, given the GPL.
