Gavin has nothing to do with Core, he's part of a rogue team that is pretending to "fix" Core..... oh no wait, now that particular coup attempt failed, he's promoting himself as a Core developer again. And endorsing all the technologies in the Core roadmap. Except when he's promoting 2 MegaBloat Classic to 8btc.com, that is

Must get confusing, pretending to be and think so many contradictory things, eh Gavin?
Not so confusing once you are accostumed to doublethink! BigBlocks are doubleplusgood!
