First rule for a failed dictator: Never admit defeat. Grin

If you ask me it's wonderful news, because during the time of their vacation we might see less FUD-drama regarding the extreme danger of not raising the blocksize immediately and enforcing a "benevolent dictatorship" in the development decision process... maybe they will reconsider and take a few years off - that would be even better.

ya.ya.yo!
The decision making processes should be based on where the miners point their hashing power and what code people choose to run. This is the level at which consensus should be achieved. To think that important decisions should be made by a Core development team is tantamount to centralization of power.

There is a very big difference between being a benevolent dictator of your own implementation of Bitcoin and actually being the dictator of Bitcoin. This is a very important distinction. It is not wrong to be in charge of your own implementation of Bitcoin when people are free to choice whatever client they want. Having multiple implementations of Bitcoin is good for decentralization and freedom.
