Your right, changing the PoW algo would be BitcoinCore decission, not miners decission. So Instead of about 20% support it would be changed to only hardcore fans wanting to back old Bitcoin with GPUs. Then the 20% of ASIC miners eighter switch to new Bitcoin rules, start supporting other SHA2 coin or sell mining equipment.

It depends though; I wouldn't say "hardcore fans" as there were a lot of people mining with a lot of GPU's before the ASICs got released.

And about "we will have two crap coins with no value at all and with 21 supply coins each other", I dont think there is much incentive for the 20% minority to continue with 1MB blocks after the 28 days grace period, but let see who is right (if there really become over 75% support for the 2MB modification)

It does not make sense to join that "team". Toomin won't even go with Bitcoin Core 0.12 (libsecp256k1 ), but rather 0.11.2 (i.e. it is possible that he is unable to apply the changes himself). Some might attack me for stating this, however I only said that it is a possibility. I can't find a good reason for which the changes should not be included in this release.
