> The ISRG's approach of working directly with maintainers to support rewriting tools and libraries incrementally falls directly in line with our perspective here at Google.

Incrementally – that means in-place. You can't fork and rewrite incrementally since there will be no adoption/users of the fork.

Also they talk about maintainers of the projects. I think that largely means original authors and maintainers, not forks.

I don't see how you come to that conclusion. Could you clarify? Thanks :)
