Well this isn't true at all - Bitcoin is moving at light speed, and we're just along for the ride! 

The Core dev team is trustworthy and they seem to espouse the "open source philosophy" that "the best idea wins", and they engage in spirited discussion about the pros and cons of various technical innovations. This is great, but at the end of the day there are people behind them making political decisions that will effect all of us. For the moment, those people (whoever they are) seem to have Bitcoin's best interest at heart, and they are acting to keep the exchange price up and the network running. I'm fairly certain that the Core team understands that block size increase is a recipe for Bitcoin breaking, even if that isn't well-articulated. For those who have a problem with "limits", compare this with how regulated the global financial system is for you!

I'm glad "Classique" bit the dust for many reasons: it was a coup attempt, it undermined the hard work of core devs, and it caused rifts in the community. Nonetheless we must stay vigilant and always review technical changes to the software and protocol.
