When I was involved with 9front, there was a dislike for Fossil because it's complicated. 9front core devs greatly valued being able to understand the entire system, but Fossil was a bit too much. Particularly, they didn't want to be responsible for maintaining a fork of Fossil too. Some people imported it & maintained it for themselves. Notably, mycroftiv ran quite a complex setup with a number of users on 9front+Fossil and was quite happy about it. I think he still does, but he no longer publishes CD-ROMs with his additions as he's changed his focus to the latest mathematical programming concepts. mycrovtiv's... fork? I'm not sure it constitutes a fork, but there is quite a large set of namespace tools in addition to 9front+fossil.
