For personal projects maybe yes, doesn't work for companies, they can't chase for thousand different forks of Redis and try to understand why feature isn't working properly on their version. Unless single fork emerges as a winner

Why would there be thousands of forks? We only need one good one.

I'm predicting such a fork backed by several core committers, and possible several cloud providers will emerge pretty quickly because they all need this to continue to exist as free and open source. AWS is not going to pay Redis a cent. Nor is Azure. Or Google. Or people commercializing open stack. All of those offer Redis support currently. Lots of their users use it.
