Oh, and it seems like the fork with most "value" would naturally be the most common, and this has some nice similarities with blockchain: the fork with highest "proof of work" imbued into it turns out to be the community consensus. But for Git projects, this means it should be easy and swift to shift from one fork to another as soon as the other fork has more "proof of utility". Currently on GitHub it's not that common to use alternative forks that have higher proof of "proof of utility", simply because of naming and fame (and github stars).
