Forks happen when people disagree. Is there really any disagreement
here? Have any privacy-related patches actually been rejected, or is it
just that nobody has written them?

We've just had the Ubuntu Developer Summit during which the next release
was planned, and everyone was welcome (both in person and online). I
must have missed the session on privacy, or did nobody propose one?
