If it's not an abomination of a hack job, I'll be interested in a fork.
I'm not convinced a simple fork is the best option. @theoretical is undertaking a new development, and I'm very interested in seeing where that goes, but right now a fork is probably the quickest, cleanest way to move on and make the bad people go away.
Keep me on the list if you care to. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, so may not be on your 'most welcome' list. Can't say I'll change either, so make your best judgment =)
Thanks!
