The first such fork that came to my mind was the "egcs" form of GCC. Egcs thrived and in the end effectively took over the "main" GCC line.


There is a chance that this fork could be similar to egcs, following the same trajectory as "Nim done better" evolving into "the current Nim variant/implementation".

Conservative improvements like specifying some dark corners better can attract users (more than flamboyant novel features), and correction of bugs can retain them.
