I agree with @blogdiva that there ought to have been an "enterprise" grade fork under a new name, and earlier than 7 too. Because what BackDrop is, is what Drupal originally was, so that line of development deserved the legacy name.

But the only practical difference would be in the naming. All the big bucks would have left Drupal for the enterprise fork, and it would be underfunded now just like BackDrop is.
