One thing I especially hope for with a branch for cond* is that it would allow for making backwards-incompatible changes without (much) risk of causing problems for users of cond*. I'm open to the possibility that cond* is nicer than pcase (for my purposes, anyway), but I'm not sure yet. A branch would make it easier for me to track any changes to cond* and try my hand at rewriting some pcase-based code to use cond*. Such an attempt might reveal some area of improvement for cond*, and it would be a shame if it were too late to do anything about it. (Of course, we could probably change cond* in backwards-incompatible ways up until Emacs 30.1 or so, but I think it'd be nicer for everyone if it were mostly-stable by the time it hits master so that people who prefer it can start using it without worrying much about breaking changes.)
