My prediction is a handful of laid off employees will fork the repo and resurrect within a month with new branding.

Hopefully. But if Intel were paying them to do so, doing it for free without secure financial backing might not be appealing. I do hope you are right.

Similar happened when Mandriva went under and Mageia started about 15ish years ago.

Mageia is my favorite of the Mandrake descendants.

The laid off employees will move on to a new full-time job, your fork will have to find maintainers somewhere else.
