First proposal was 20MB, core didn't like it, then got down to 8MB, core still didn't like it, then went to 2MB and core still don't want it. People have been extremely patient but when things only go one side with censorship on top at some point people can't take it anymore.

So now what was inevitable happened, so we will see if core is ready to make the whole thing implode instead of making a compromise which is more than reasonable( not to mention that the block size will have to be increased at some point anyway when blocks are full of LN multi sig transac so this issue is not even a matter of if but when, so lets see if core will risk the whole thing collapse just because they their ego is too big to take rational economic decision.
