Forking open source code is never a waste of effort. That's literally the reason why open/libre source exists, to have work all done in the open and if some people fundamentally disagree with the work being done, they can start a new workstream.

    Of course they can, and I underline that in my comment several times, that this person is free to do it, good for them. I don't disagree with that at all. I'm sure they will learn a lot and that's great.

    And everyone else is free to evaluate the prospects and realities of that fork.
