I wouldn't say that planet.osm based projects are "forks" as they don't 
encourage people to put surveyed data into some place other than OSM, but... 
Since planet.osm is released on a regular basis, and likely to become more 
regular, one could just replace the contaminated planet.osm with the next 
one.
