Plus, since desiredata does seem to be a fork rather than just a development branch, it would probably make the most sense for there to be a separate repository for desiredata.
That's a non sequitur argument.
However, a good reason for a separate repository would be so that DesireData is not slowed down by the fact that most of our collaborators (testers) don't have access to the non-delayed SF CVS and so are excluded from a truly interactive development process because they can't get in the private social club of pd's Real Programmers.
In the good days of ImpureData (april 2004) that was a real frustration because I had to send *.diff files to testers whenever I fixed a bug that they had just found, else they couldn't continue testing until 6 or 12 hours have passed. I was too shy to ask for a dev account for each tester, as they were only testers. Now I'd rather not continue making those petty distinctions. Let testers be part of the team.
