no-one's forcing you to use that either, are they jonald?Correct.
The difference is that there is a certain entrenchment of the existing consensus rules based on the history and usage of the core repository.
As is evidenced by miners voting on scalability with their block signatures, the core consensus rules are no longer satisfactory for everyone.

In other word, no one is satisfied that the consensus rules among Core devs only leads to no decision making.
I don't think that's an accurate representation. If the decision-making rules are insufficient, what do you propose -- exactly? Has anyone actually attempted to amend the BIP process and bring the question to the Core devs?
