Given the deadlock, I honestly start to think it might be good to do a 'divorce'. As in, we actually agree to disagree, and all see that there are fundamentally incompatible opinions with regards to the direction of Bitcoin. But we can keep it friendly. This might be less damage/cost than having a hardfork battle solving it in January 2016.
That way we can avoid the fighting and truly let the market work out the rest. We divide up the common assets of the web sites, code repos etc. between Bitcoin/QT and Bitcoin/XT. Make it clear that Bitcoin is now two Bitcoins, and that the user has to decide.
QT and XT simply seem like two people who shouldn't be married. Better have a clean divorce than endless fighting.
Thoughts?

Clean divorce? Yah right, as if!
The Gavinistas are trying to take sole custody of the core dev's child. The one they raised from a baby and devoted thousands of hours to nurturing.
There are already false allegations of abuse flying around. It's been getting uglier and messier for months now, with no resolution in sight.
All of this, just so Hearn can make Bitcoin pull his XT wagon instead of launching it as a proper, independent altcoin.
This is worse than the time the DASH dev rode Darkcoin's coattails to launch his crappy new coin.
