Of course. Vorbis was designed to have significant scope for encoder 
tunings, and it's great that other groups are producing their own 
forks of the encoder. As long as they're still makeing valid Vorbis 
files, (and calling them that) everybody benifits. That doesn't mean 
there's somehow something wrong with the format, or the reference 
encoder for that matter.
