Actually you have 4 or more forks:

Red Hat/Fedora RPM
Wraptastic (JBJ)
SuSE
Mandriva
(even Turbolinux has(had?) patches that do things )

Hopefully they will get it down to 2 forks :).

Using this logic we have the same number of rpm forks as number of linux ditributions that have rpm. Each linux distro has own patches for rpm :)
