>Generally my stance with these forks born from community drama is "wait and see."

They are generally a good thing, save for the poor souls that will end up maintaining a project that was started with them while they were still active. The success of the fork doesn't matter so much as the direction it inevitably pulls the original project.

The io.js drama gave us a huge step forward with NPM once their hand was forced. Hopefully some good ideas come of this too.
