The number of publicly visible forks does not represent the number of organizations compiling their own binaries and internally mandating the use of such binaries.

Mind you, I never implied that there are thousands or hundreds of such cases. But there are some.

Oh, sure there are some. There were some before. It's Open Source after all. That's kinda' the point. :)

If more consumers choose to take on the work of maintaining their own fork because of the OSMF, that's okay too. I believe we are more likely to get contributions if more developers are in the code instead of just consuming binary builds. That's another small reason why I believe the OSMF can work.
