i dont think there will be a hard fork too because there is no good alternative. you need more than 1-2 devs and a plan to make 2MB blocks - that is not enough.
Right.Bitcoin Classic is just having to known good developers. Without Gavin and Jeff I believe there would be no talk about Classic at all.
The main devs are all supporting core. And in my opinion is the path core is going absolute the right one.
