Such a move would, in all probability, leave both parts of the split

(I don't like the idea, for the record).
I'm not sure there'll be that much of a community split. Based on what
I've seen *so far* it'd be less of a split than we had with EGCS. But
that's precisely why I want folks to chime in, particularly those doing
the day-to-date development work -- I want to see what the likely impact
on the development community would be rather than going with just what
*I* want.
