So the "nothing but Core with a 2MB block change" classic party line is turning into a load of total BS.
It is, and always was, all about politics.
It was always a power grab and nothing more. It seems like Gavin misses the old days when he was in charge. This reminds me of XT, slipping in features without actually discussing them and falsely promoting the implementation. Meanwhile, Core is actually doing something useful (BIP 9 just got merged). It is, and always was, all about politics.
Next feature to be coded into Classic will be a button saying "give all your coins to NSA".
Where are my 20 MB urgent blocks from 2015?
