If there is a fork then no private account data will be shared with the
fork.  The only data that will be shared is the User ID and User Name both
of which are already public.

There will be a mechanism (oAuth or similar) which will enable users to
transition from the Steve Coast OSM to any OSM fork with about three mouse
clicks.  At no time will private data ever be shared between any OSM forks.
