I believe this is deliberate as there isn't an actual capacity difference between the proposals as Classic represents another attempt at a change in governance with Toomin and Garzik in control(Gavin indicates he is just temporarily supporting and doesn't want to lead)

The governance model hasn't been fleshed out but will involve consider-it that the toomin brothers control. There is a clear indication of multiple hard forks in the future to "Clean up" all of Cores code and keep increasing the blocksize.
