Re: Is it good or bad that Core development is virtually controlled by one company?
He's compromising on the blocksize. 
The general public might be completely in the dark about who runs core now, but people that eat, live, and breathe bitcoin aren't as easily fooled.
He's not. '20 MB urgent' -> '2MB absurd' -> '2MB fork'. This is not compromising, this is manipulating. A thing can't be "urgent" if you can accept a 10x smaller version of it. Also you have no idea why he left Core because you were never more deeply involved ("eat, live and breath" the propaganda I'd say). The general public might be completely in the dark about who runs core now, but people that eat, live, and breathe bitcoin aren't as easily fooled.I think the rest of my post made it clear that it's a rhetorical question.
Correct. My post was actually directed at the person that you've quoted, but I felt like quoting you as well was better.
