I think #WordPress will split, it's already happening, new WP forks appearing every month. AlcoveCMS being a new one, but it may also strengthen ClassicPress which is in need of more programmers. So in the long run it may be a good thing. Incompatibilities among WP forks will be a thing, but I think the global market can handle that (considering the crazy amount of WP alternatives).
