I think not forking should be fine as long as people are happy to hold
off from landing any new big features for the 0.102 cycle. If there's
a need to get 0.102 underway we then need to branch off.

It depends if it's proper "continuous development" where it's all
small and incremental improvements with the platform being constantly
usable and features and it also depends on the end users of the
product. Unfortunately I think a lot of the end users and customer of
sugar are interested in a more traditional approach.
