The XTfork is dangerous as it turned a technical debate into a political oneEven worst,
they have turned this debate into a divisive governance issue well outside of the actual block size problem. This is a political problem and not a technical one. Bitcoin can not and should not be divorced from already previously existing political theory. These are fundamental questions of who is in charge of Bitcoin, and how do we, and how should we reach consensus decisions. This question is as important as the block size debate itself, this question is more political in nature then it is technical, which is why I think we need to compromise some of our technical ideals in favor of political goals.
