> So now we're at a fork of a fork?

This history is full of such "forks of forks" (whatever you're trying to imply with that):

  There is a Smile of Love 
  And there is a Smile of Deceit 
  And there is a Smile of Smiles
  In which these two Smiles meet 

  And there is a Frown of Hate 
  And there is a Frown of disdain 
  And there is a Frown of Frowns
  Which you strive to forget in vain 

  -- William Blake, The Smile of Smiles

I'm not trying to imply anything with that other than that it seems the original fork seems to have failed in its stated goals of being the community-led, non-commercialized version.

Yeah it's unfortunate. Allegedly Roman wrote those goals but the other co-founders never really went along with them.
