eh those idiots rightly believe that segwits may introduce some unknown security hole to the bitcoin environment, because it was not fully tested yet and bug can also appear at some point
if some sort of bug/exploit will emerge then you are forced to hard fork anyway, it's a gamble, it's better to directly hard fork to 2MB anyway
That would be the elegant solution....have seg witness choke in some manner..fix such with a hard fork and thus have some sense and do the block size hard fork
at the same time an or asap. Thus BOTH camps of this dispute could claim victory. The seg witness bitcoin core fork that seg witness is then repaired and next
step the lightning network and the block size quick fix folk on perhaps hardforks are NOT as passe as bitcoin core seemed to imply.
