I don't see how that isn't a fork.  And I don't think it would be easy
to implement or to maintain.  Citizendium tried to do this without
even doing the automatic updating part, and they quickly decided that
it was more trouble than it was worth.

Maybe things have gotten better since then.  Maybe they have gotten
worse.  I don't know.  Is there even a way to export an article,
including (recursively) all the templates it depends on?
