Yeah, as I mentioned we did talk about it a lot. As it seemed like a lot of work, and since mojang had turned a blind eye, the effort never seemed worth it. The core team got bought before it all came to a head, otherwise you might have seen a greater effort to separate the code bases.
I'll have to look in to forge, I haven't yet seen what they are doing, but it sounds interesting.
EDIT: the other aspect was the fact so much code was written against the de-obfuscated version of the code base. There's an argument that distributing that patch would also be distributing mojang code.
