Bitcoin is not a democracy, its a market driven system aligned with economic incentives. The actual economic incentive tells us to move to 2mb so thats why businesses and miners are now pushing for it and why Classic have so much support.
The "economic incentive" tells you only what you want to hear. From a technical perspective 2 MB blocks make absolute no sense in comparison to Segwit.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.
Gavin even said something about not wanting to maintain it (IIRC) and Jeff has a different agenda. He believes that we should do a hard fork so that we have experience with doing one and I agree. However, I don't agree with the current proposal at all. The main devs are all supporting core. And in my opinion is the path core is going absolute the right one.
These developers are actually ones that have contributed with various improvements to the infrastructure. What have Classic "developers" created? Nothing.XT had support of the industry but not miners. Now Classic have the support of both miners and the industry. What's next? Core being left out.
It has the same support as XT had from Slush. They said they would support it until they didn't.
