XT and Classic did fork the blockchain and had the history though, meaning for a time they were an alt-coin with history.

That's completely counter intuitive to what you're saying about Matt's example not having a history.

No. XT and Classic were code forks, not blockchain forks. If certain runtime conditions had been met, they would have become blockchain forks, but those conditions were never met.

Did they? IIRC neither fork left the proposal stage.
