i don't want it to be called XT its i want Core with a different version number thats all
i don't want it to increase blocklimit by much, increasing block limit is both necessary and controversial, i believe we will achieve consensus fast if the limit is increased only to met the needs of the moment ( double it to 2MB)
i dont want to fork it myself, i want the devs all the devs to agree to a procedure to achieve consensus, having different version numbers corresponding to the different proposed implementation all forked from the dev team as a hole

That's been tried for over a year, and its not happening.
It's even more clear its not happening after the core
devs aren't going for the 2mb proposal.

They are stonewalling and will never agree because
it conflicts with their business interests in Blockstream.

This is becoming increasingly apparent.   



they have proposals BIP 100 BIP 101 BIP 102 etc..
they just have no way of getting their little group of devs to commit to one plan of action
we need to have them create different versions for each BIP and see where the community flocks too
they need to surrender the decision making process to the community and they need to do it now!

its not like Greg Maxwell favors Bip 100 and Peter Wuille favors Bip 101
and they just can't agree.  None of the Blockstream guys want to
meaningfully raise the limit.
(Unless you count Peter Wuille's Bip 103 which
only gets us to 2MB by 2021, but I wouldn't call that a meaningful increase)

Yes, they need to surrender the decision making to the community but
they clearly aren't.
