Lol at Gavin suddenly behaving like Mr. Consensus: "we at Core" "maybe Adam's right" etc.
But it's good that he's adjusted from the "XT, ransom-demand-as-a-proposal" antics. If we're playing in the arena of ideas again, which involves discussion, not unilateralism, then we will see whether the arguments of the BIP101 camp can stand up.
Gavin knows that he lost the power game. Now he desperately tries to remain relevant. Adam and most other Core developers clearly have the more convincing arguments. The smear tactics used against Blockstream won't change that. I trust them more than a guy who accepted an invitation to the CIA and uses his publicity to aggressively push a half-baked idea.
