No the idea is to decentralize development that way NO group of devs has much influence over the anything but their own implementation.
So that the CEO and the customers tell you what the best way of configuring the server (or network, whichever analogy you prefer) is, even though you're a server (or network) engineer? Does this make sense to you?
Let's not forget here that there would be a major change if something like Classic would take of:
think of this team of newbies (Gavin excluded, but he's not a permanent team member) taking control of the consensus rules?
Let's not forget the fact that 2 MB blocks essentially solve nothing. They kick the can down the road (the question is by how much).
A client can do things. Miners decide if they use it. The ceo and customers can only petition the client maintainers.
Can kicking is preferable to nothing. Unless you have a strong motive to do nothing?
