WordPress must be forked. And there is only one reason: Matt’s current decisions are toxic to WordPress. 

The fork should change only one thing: The governance structure. Nothing else! No changes to code strategy, no changes to how WordCamps work, no changes to anything else. Only the governance must be changed. We must create a carbon copy of the current ecosystem exactly.

All other changes can come later. The future governance structure can then be deciding these other changes. The reason for this rigor is that any change will make some community members hesitant about backing a fork. But the community is hungry for one thing, and one thing only: WordPress without Matt.

This is a power struggle, treat it as such. Anything else is naive.
