WTF, Bitcoin is programmable money and the code can be changed on a dime, if need be. You will get quick consensus on issues with higher importance.. So developers will make these changes and

people will accept these changes, if it threatens Bitcoin's survival. At this stage, it's only a big issue for Gavinista's and Big block supporters will ulterior motives.  If I had a Bitcoin for every time

Bitcoin were declared dead.. I would have been VERY rich.
