One that stops inviting ideological battles

That's impossible IMHO. Nix is fundamentally about doing things "the right way", and so there will always be disagreements about what "the right way" is. I think they are bound to be eventually settled on the best possible answer, you don't need a fork for that.

If only the battles were about software. They are about unrelated beliefs and political ideologies. I'd very much prefer ideological battles about software trust me.
