This basically the same as saying the whole notion of Signed-off-by should be abandoned entirely, since in this case the fork will only have a partial set of these. The point is that we're recording information so each line in the repository can be traced back to a SOB. These sorts of take-downs would destroy that information, and the proposed solution of having some party retain these creates a special class of free software users who are capable of following that line of attributions.
