So, Wladimir isn't preventing blocksize increases, and does not hold the sole veto, as you present it.
Did Wladimir give additional people merge access? That's great news. I hadn't heard about it. When did that happen, and who else has that access?
Your presentation is inaccurate propaganda to bash Core.
While you've made it pretty clear that you've been on a propaganda crusade for a while, I have no interest in "bashing core". Greg Maxwell and I have had discussions in the past and we agree on many things. There is room for discussion and exchange of ideas without needing to "bash" a group or individual. Choosing to run XT, Classic, Unlimited, or any other implementation is not an attack on you, the Core developers, or anyone else. There is nothing magical or divine about being a Core developer.
Explain to us about the way(s) in which Core is failing.
I never said they were failing. I implied that right now the majority of hashpower is choosing to run Core compatible code, and that it wasn't clear how badly Core would need to fail before miners would choose to abandon it for some other implementation.
