Given the keys by Satoshi? Even you are blindly repeating that? Satoshi only gave him the alert keys, the metaphorical keys you speak of do not exist. Gavin took advantage of Satoshi's disappearance by repeating that same story over and over again of Satoshi putting his email on the website like it means he is Satoshi's heir. There is no such position in bitcoin anyways.
What you portray as 'going off to tinker' and 'obsessing' is creating solutions and being cautious about modifying what is like changing the function of a car engine while the car is moving. This hyperbole betrays the weakness of your position, only the weak side resorts to such in a discussion. The network has been DoSed, but not significantly and in any capacity to impact more than most users. Deprecating/choking bitcoin core? How? By moving wealth (that probably wasn't already there due to an inadequacy) from something bitcoin can't do well or can't do at all into a sidechain? The only choking is of possible future financial wealth, which shows stake in the game.
what's ridiculous is your claim in bold.
if it was so controversial, why hasn't your point come up before? i've never heard any of the
other core devs spouting your allegations, even now.
That's because they have been plenty busy trying to keep Bitcoin viable and valuable most likely. I very much doubt that they have time for your silly games. In fact I have reason to believe that some of them have not been paying much attention to your ilk and are somewhat mystified at your absurdity.
I, for one, am glad that with some exceptions the devs who are actually doing shit have not gotten their hands stuck in the
cypherdoc tar-baby. Bitcoin is much better off for it.
