Side note: Wasn't Classic being passed off as nothing but a bump to 2MB, because of the controversial changes that were coded into XT? What else is Gavin planning on slipping in?
what else is luke Jr planning on slipping into core..
what else is Sipa planning on slipping into core..
its a bit of tit-for-tat
Luke and Sipa are not releasing a contentious hard fork. Gavin is.
And Classic is presenting that hard fork as
"a one-feature patch to bitcoin-core that increases the blocksize limit to 2 MB." Is that really the case?
See
https://bitcoinclassic.com/Says it right on the front page. Further, Luke and Sipa can't just slip anything into Core anyway. Not at all. Core has a drawn-out code review process that prevents anything like that. Classic has only a few developers and no peer review. Big difference.
