Definitely. I will personally bankroll any fork that will have the momentum
of one third of editorship behind it, or in a pinch just a quarter of
editorship,
if nearly half of the core editors are included in that quarter.

I guess I should qualify the above by saying I will not bankroll a hostile
fork. I will not bankroll somebodys private project. Has to have real
momentum, otherwise no point in forking, might as well try to work
things out *within* the community.

Just to be clear, I might not join a hypothetical fork myself as an editor,
but I feel the ability to fork is so precious a boon for projects like us, that
it would be worth it to bankroll one purely on the principle of the thing.
