Just an alt-repo doesn't change the auto-download behavior of people for whom Core is authoritative. The point of archiving the current Core repo would be forcing users to choose a repo, not just default to one.
It may well result in the same exact people doing the same things with the same mindshare just in a different repo, but the shakeup would make opting into that explicit, and the new repo would have to earn any perceived legitimacy.

I agree with the points. It would be helpful. However, it is a move that needs to come from the current maintainers.
Ultimately, being a free user also means that you have control over auto-download behaviors and opt-out of implementations that do not represent your values.

Indeed, they will not simply relinquish their fortification just because it is good for Bitcoin. It must be a "bi-partisan" pressure campaign by everyone with some agency left, as something everyone should be able to rally around it would serve as exposure even if it were to fail.
