Of course the sides are bigger than the people I used to typify them.  But I still think MPEX & Co have more coins and (more importantly) are willing to spend more coins to win the civil war than anyone else.

And I have no idea what the core devs would or would not do about their careers if Hearn wins.  I just suspect they might be less enthusiastic about fixing and improving code imposed upon them without consent.

So far, Gavin is the only who's threatened to take his ball and go home if he doesn't get his way.  But it could be a trend...

Did you see cypherdoc asking gmax why his XT node has an unreasonably bloated swap file?  Classic!
