I don't care if the barnstar page gets forked. The more award incentives the better. It makes people happy and willing to contribute.
Barnstars are good, because they foster a sense of community, and encourage recognition of the value of each other's work.
I find it particularly distasteful that these service "awards" are intended to be awarded to one's self - they certainly do not help to build the community.
