Reflecting on this idea, I think it'd be good (in the long run) if this
did happen.  Of course the network would get disrupted, but I thought
that the idea of Freenet was to have a disruption-resistant network.
And a brazillion forks means many new developers trying changes.  If the
project doesn't reject their changes, they would become a great force
for building a better Fred.

OTOH, without DSCM, forked clients will still exist, it'll just be
tougher to keep them up to date and to merge any improvements back to
the official client.
