Why should commit keys matter? Git is decentralized, any git clone is exactly the same as core, so the software build from any of its clones will be exactly the same too, it is up to each user to use an implementation he like

If they didn't matter, there would be no Classic. This was always about power because if you ask each developer individually you are going to be left with Gavin and Garzik in favor of a 2 MB block size limit and everyone else being against it.

Many of the postings here and elsewhere are viewed by folks trying to take the pulse of Bitcoin.

People who want to fork are trying to change Bitcoin.

but let's say in 3 months segwit is not ready and still no where near ready

If the people who are working on Classic had decent skills they'd help out with Segwit, but they don't. Segwit is nearing completion, however it should not be rushed.

Would it kill us to just *announce* an intent to release a version with 2MB (or even just 1.1MB) block size limit?

Why would anyone waste time trying to do this?
