We need to make modifications for a client and I'm wondering if we should consider a patch or just fork it. I prefer a patch but don't want to get involved if it is going to be controversial...
* Modifying the code to remove the tab takes 10 minutes, at most. * Creating a patch for it takes 5 minutes, at most.

I think it's that last - previously unstated - step of getting it committed.
Yes, it might take a bit of time to get a patch committed, but for such a small patch as this, it shouldn't be that bad. Plus, as soon it is in the patch queue, other people can help get it committed. The 'getting it committed' part is a distributed effort. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
