I've started a project that has the potential to go down this path but have a very strict 'implement your own diffs if you want them' for this particular project.

Like, feel free to fork away if you like. The core repository needs to be simple and stay true to its goals, and when it updates everyone downstream can update if they want to do that to themselves. But for what it is and does, maybe the project as it is is good enough.

I start feeling almost physically sick when I see the potential for bloat to creep into the software I write. This makes working with scaled software development with others particularly hard, however.
