I know not all uses are for POV forks. But most of them are, and it's
a blatant encouragement to do so.

Some editors have a fondness for the idea of POV forking so as to
minimise editor conflict; but this makes a bad and non-NPOV article at
the expense of readers for the sake of problem editors. It's the
editors that are being problematic, not the article; whack their heads
together, don't make a bad article.

I mean, WTF. Voting on NPOV?
