I see no reason why it can't be a fork. You may not want it to be a fork, but that's different from it needing to be a new project.

There is a very popular piece of software that millions of people use today that was a fork of a large, sprawling suite of a mess of several programs that used an actual Godzilla as its mascot: Firefox.

And, if I recall correctly, Mozilla had a hard time keeping it at the same level of WebKit/Chrome, partly because the code was too old and needed a lot of changes.
