Right now, no. The future need depends on how much further the polarization goes.

Yeah I agree there should be another repo. It’s not “needed” tho is my point. 

People should start another one with the intention of being the open, neutral, strictly reference client.

Its possible. But "as it is now" is basically people copying core.

Either directly, like Knots, or as a reference, like btcd and libbitcoin

If Core goes further down the path of restriction, and people keep being banned from the bips repo, it would be good to have some place where they can be heard. Maybe that place is nostr. Or... Op_returns. Lol
