That's called a "fork" or "tree" or whatever you want to call it, and
all of us have them, and end up merging stuff to mainline through them
eventually.

There is no need to "codify" something that we all have been doing for
years.  If someone thinks they can "work faster" in their own tree,
great for them, have them do it.  I don't see what I need to agree or
disagree with here to keep anyone from doing such a thing.

Or am I just totally missing something here?
