And how does that relate to what muyuu said?
his undermining of Bitcoin's decentralisation and censorship-resistance from within development, then he will try from the outside. I think it's a matter of time. Gavin already joined the "alliance" and is actively working in the policing of Bitcoin.
This has nothing to do with the assessment of what is within the code of BIP101, I do not think that XT undermines decentralization and censorship-resistance. I also do not think that XT includes the policing of the Bitcoin protocol as well. This has nothing to do with the code and has everything to do with implying that they will put these things in the code at a later point in time and that therefore we should not trust them which in my opinion is irrelevant.

Well, when you strip away your (economic?) minority argument that exponential blocksize increases don't threaten decentralised nodes, there's not much left. The XT code and/or BIP101 literally does undermine decentralisation, so you're throwing around very strong accusations on the basis of a secondary point of contention. Shaky ground.
