You are right: forking is OK for your case.

Raphaël is right:
  - you should try to collaborate with other distributions on a
    *single* fork.
  - your fork should not be called "compiz", please pick a unique
    name, such as compiz-mate or matepiz or whatever

In addition, but I believe you realize that already, your fork and the
mainstream compiz packages should remain co-installable at all time:
you need to rename/move all files, programs, libraries etc.

As for "unstable should move to 0.9.x", that's entirely up to the
compiz maintainers and the release team. Remember we are in a freeze
period, experimental has 0.9.2.1+git...

Regards, Thibaut.
