I think this is a great idea. I'm not sure if it is necessary to set up different sections. I can see it would be a way to group topics together in an easy to find forum setting. But, I can also see Matt's point as well. As Matt indicated, he has used the existing forums for occasional MorphOS-related discussions, and it seems to have worked out fine.
Unfortunately, I do remember the red vs blue stuff. I arrived on the scene after it was already in progress. Many unfortunate things were said, as well as alot of trolling and cheep shots from both sides. I even got in a few cheep shots myself, and took a few hits as well. Then there was a mass exodus to another site. It all seems so silly to me now.
