It's a separately maintained branch that will not be merged in the
foreseeable future but is continuously updated with both syncs to the
original and new features of its own.  If that's not a fork, what do
you want to call it?

As I wrote, Aquamacs is a friendly fork.  But redundant effort is
still involved, and the communities are still split.
