IANAC, but my (non-binding) vote is also -1. I think all the improvements and feature addition to zebra should be available through pig trunk. The codebase is not big enough to justify creating a branch. If the reason is Pig's dependence on a checked in hadoop jar, the shims proposal by Dmitry should be taken up asap, so that those who want to use zebra can use pig trunk with hadoop 0.20
