http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew is my project. IMO anyone who is afraid of forking is actually just afraid of losing control. It's much easier now for people to do a better job than you. You have to work harder in order to keep your kudos. That guy who has submitted 20 patches a month since 2005 could in theory attract more attention than you and everyone would start using their fork. I'm probably 50% right. |

You incubated the original idea, and to some that's more valuable then improving the technicalities. Ideas are cheap but initial execution is hard.
On the flip side, for a whole other bunch of people, continued improvement is hard, so the maintainers are the heroes in that instance.
