Since I think I kicked this off:

let me say that it was a general question and not one aimed at any current or
planned fork.
I just thought that for some people, it might be possible to start with
something but take it in a very / completely different direction. So
different that to name the one as a fork of the other might confuse people as
to what the forked program was useful for. Hence:
What if I "fork" a project
because I think it gives me a good
starting point
or base for what I want to do but the direction I intend to
take things will
result in a completely different sort of program to the one I
forked?
a) We do not know neither your direction nor intend.
b) Is the program really completely different - according to who?
c) Because of a and b there is no c.
