Quote - > Quote - Nothing wrong with forking a code base if necessary.

Except when the fork is maintained by a single person: It means support will last as long as that person has time/interest in that project, which can range from several years to just a couple months.

This is not really a problem in reality.

This is kind of opensource. So, any other person is able to maintain the package. This is often done with other projects too.

What BB is planing to do is no big surgery. It's just a relative simple extension to have some maths with materials. The rest is done outside of Lux. So there is a good chance this extension will work with future versions of Lux.
