that's remarkable sound! never would have expected him to be able to such a insight/compromise.
now we only need to convince the other nutters left or get going without them. friedenbach would be to name here. i am surprised we havent heard anything from todd etc about their colleague being against the consensus.
And here's another nugget:

Is Gavin already searching for a new name?

Doesn't matter, the final version does not use any specific names (besides Core).
This was mainly to avoid negativity and give Classic a possibility of transforming into a part of this plan and a "legitimate" node software.

Legitimate, as approved by the centralists?

As in not breaking from the community consensus. But yes, it is defined in the agreement by compatibility with Core. However, if Core were to depart from what has consensus, I think this would change the "foreseeable future" aspect, thus releasing the obligation entirely (but I don't expect this to happen).

But Gavin and Jeff will probably need to see some real progress in order to lower their arms. If they can get the activation date set a bit earlier then that might be as good as it gets. The clock is ticking and I doubt they can convince miners to adopt Classic before/unless some promises are broken by Core. By July even Classic would struggle with an activation date earlier than Jan-Feb 2017.
