I'm really not sure what part of "First implementation of a brand new way of doing things" you're not understanding. It was not a fork, it was a first cut. The first LTSP didn't have local devices as it does now, didn't have rdesktop as it does now, etc. Does that mean that the later versions are a fork? No, they're simply a progression.
The latest version of LTSP Muekow that Oliver Grawert's been working on will be out in Edgy Eft, and now supports etherboot, lower memory clients, NBS swap, XDMCP and LDM logins, localdevices, etc etc. Printing and Rdesktop isn't quite there yet, but will be for edgy+1.
vagrantc, who's been working in the Debian version, will likely have these in the Etch release sooner, as Debian's release cycle isn't closed yet.
As well, Warren Togami, and Eric Harrison will be spearheading the Fedora release.
Why do you continue to to insist on shouting "FORK" at the top of your lungs? All of these people are working together off of one spec to get the job done. All you seem to be doing to the process is trying to make it seem more divisive?
Am I missing something here? (I'd like to think not, as I'm one of the people involved).
