I hope @Carpetsmoker's positive stance comes true.It's hard to determine whether a new fork could benefit the arch-project especially when it takes a different direction/policy/stance/philosophy (mirOS,dragonflyBSD,aerieBSD .. ?? or being self-reflexive : OpenBSD itself when it forked -not at will though as Theo confirmed- from NetBSD)
As far as OpenBSD Project is concerned .. forks are inevitably harmful as the project is not as big as let's say Fedora or FreeBSD (ie,Team members & working force).The worst day of some of us could be when one sees OpenBSD falling into stagnation or meeting continual stumbling blocks .. May this never happen ! I can't believe I'll stop being a dedicated user/enthusiast of OpenBSD.
