The ETH developers can propose all the hardforks they want. It's still ultimately the miners and users who decide whether to comply or not. It's exactly how a decentralized system works.
Rationalize it all you want , but whether it is the developers pushing the miners or the miners independently deciding on the HF , the end result is the same. This is a HF to seize assets targeted at 1 specific user that was legitimately and legally acquired. Remember in Smart contracts code is law , and the "hacker" was following the law, therefore there was technically no hack and the contracts completed as designed!
THIS needs to be plastered everywhere. Rock the fuck on for being the captain obvious that no one wants to hear right now.
