Things have reached the point now where we absolutely place far too much emphasis on trusting what developers might or might not do in the future. It's the same warped human trait that generally leads to two-party political systems in so called democracies. It's undeniable now, we have central planning instead of decentralisation and a power struggle over which central planning political party we elect. We've lost all sight of what was supposed to be a trustless system because you're all so quick to worship or denounce one particular group of personalities or another, as if the decision was theirs to begin with. I honestly thought we were above that here, but evidently that isn't the case.

Stop begging for an overlord and an antichrist to fight to the death and make your decisions for you. Shame on you all.

It is also undeniable that some central planning is good for the overall development of Bitcoin. The developers propose something then it is for the nodes and the miners to decide which ones they want or what they do not want. It is the centralization of mining or the possibility of miner collusion that is bad. They have gained much leverage on the network that now they have become like an enemy of the Core developers to impose what they want.
