codeigniter and Elislabs

Maybe, the only way for ending this agony of CodeIgniter is writing its clone. Since a month or two I think about a framework that would be compatible with CodeIgniter's API, but totally rewritten and released under the MIT license. There is a framework FuelPHP (v.2 is to come the next year) that in fact is what CodeIgniter should have been these days. Maybe using its components for recreation CodeIgniter's API would not be so hard. Or (a slightly different approach) some kind of package for CodeIgniter compatibility mode could be created for an existing MIT-licensed framework.

Why do I consider this?
1. I have no sentiment to CodeIgniter framework, but I've invested too much time on it. Switching my code to other framework is not an option for me.
2. It would be sad dumping so a lot of third-part code created for CodeIgniter.
3. EllisLabs is impredictable.

Alucemet, you have some experience, is such an idea doable, realistic?
