There is an unnecessary ongoing war and fear mongering over the community about bitcoinXT. What people need to realize is that the only thing that will lead to a majority of honest node switching to bitcoinXT is a bloat in the blockchain itself where businesses won't be able to process the transactions they need due to a fail of bitcoin core to deliver proper scaling on time. BitcoinXT is just a fall back plan in case of a bitcoin core failure and will happen naturally if there is a need in the market. If bitcoin core delivers then nothing will happen. I don't see the point of so much fear mongering over hard forking. THERE IS AN ECONOMIC INCENTIVE TO REACH CONSENSUS NO MATTER THE OUTCOME. Releasing the code in the wild might not be pleasing some but it relieved the stress of many people about their concerns over a bitcoin core failure. If that concern reaches consensus then be it!
