Heh, very droll. Tres bot mots!
Yes, I do understand the categorical but academic difference between a chain fork and a codebase fork. I was intentionally conflating them to illustrate their functional equivalency insofar as adding to BTC's Mainchain additional parallel capacity.
The "new devs" are impatient for the network to saturate so that the "fee market" will arise, and they have invented several spiffy gadgets to handle it that they are dying to use. No matter how people explain, they don't want to understand that

I'm not sure from where you're getting this "new" adjective. Adam Back is BTC's grandfather, if not (part of) Satoshi Himself.
Luke-jr as been around since forever. Ditto Garzik, etc. AFAIK, gmax is the newest kid on the block(chain).
The ad hom is irrelevant in any case, because the claim you infer from it, that "they have invented several spiffy gadgets to handle it that they are dying to use," is not accurate. Sidechains and Lightening are spiffy to be sure, but we are seeing them being slowly deployed via the proper (IE whitepaper->peer review->prototype->testnet->listserve feedback->BIP) process, in marked contrast to the Gavinista's insurgent tactics of going straight to the drooling masses and inciting the mob to demand Action Now.
