Core alienated themselves from the process by refusing to compromise, segwit while awesome is a highly complex change requiring not only nodes, but every service and software that parses the blockchain to upgrade their proprietary software... It may not be as fast to roll out as you predict...
Sound engineering is not made under populist pressure. There urgency of the situation is fabricated and there are no compromise to be made except maybe to indicate an intent to hard fork down the road.
The SegWit testnet is live meaning everyone can start learning and getting their platform to support it once it's ready for release.
Bitcoin Classic proposes to hard fork the network in a mere 3 months with a FOUR WEEKS grace periods for nodes.
This is plainly irresponsible and there certainly are NO justification to force through such a precipitated roll out.
We risk losing a significant fraction of the network nodes which will cause great damage to the decentralization of Bitcoin.
Moreover such consensus change should not happen without 95% miner support. Otherwise it should be considered an attack by the majority miners and an abuse of their position.
If, the network is to go through a hard fork then please have it happen in an orderly fashion so as to not cast Bitcoin in a bad light once again.
