Well-defined interfaces is what I like to see even if there are never 
any forks. Things like XMLRPC or SOAP interfaces that are "blessed" by 
asterisk will motivate some of us to contribute more to the community. I 
find it easier to settle down and produce a complete application(even 
with some comments in the source) when I know it works against a 
well-defined interface - one that will persist for several releases.

Disclaimer - don't construe my mention of XMLRPC/SOAP as an endorsement 
or preference. That would start a whole new thread.
