Hmm I would think that it is tough to design for future forks/schisms. I think the most neutral stance would be to just stick with the well-adopted open-source design motifs. Becoming a bitcoin user is opt-in, to both the current and future instantiations of the network. I'm not sure I see how the potential for a future instantiation that differs from the current one means that a novel design is most welcoming.
Unless I've misunderstood, with that sort of logic, it would become untenable to ever commit to a certain design style, no?
And that would sort of give me the impression that bitcoin "can be whatever you want it to be", which I think is incorrect, since it is an opt-in network with fairly well-defined rules. There are mechanisms to change those rules in various ways over time, but none of those mechanisms are contingent upon any individual user's choice.
