so anything not Blockstream/core is 'overtaking' the project? And we should ignore Satoshi's clear statement in the whitepaper that nodes can vote on rules with their processing power?
The only 'trying to overtake via hard fork' is the backdoor UASF , which is probably the brainchild of Greg Maxwell.
I think the miner will vote with their hashing power. That is more fair than the so called UASF.
