Ok - but the article above use the term FORK.
I agree with out that there really was no FORK, so - it is only a metaphor in this sense, that resulted in the mistake of the use of the term FORK. And, in that sense the comment followed the article's use of this word Instead it might be looked at an restated as this: The Ubuntu/Edubuntu LTSP 6.06 release was without support for low ram clients, low CPU speed clients, and without usable support for etherboot (and that did mean a fork in a sense as then all the etherboot devices and NIC cards out there already using LTPS would not work with the Edubuntu 6.06 LTSP stuff, and when you followed their instructions to do so, the boot up time for the fix that added etherboot, per actual testing with users, led to volumes of complaints - it was not pure LTSP because it was lacking, period).
It was simply not done yet.
By next spring... things will be better, right now folks that want a turn key LTSP product have options (one option is K12LTSP.org).
