Although I don't agree with you on BU matter (I think that we need something better than just increase the block size), you are right on this. Somehow they should be more receptive to what the community wants.
And if what the community wants is stupid (since most don't know nor care of the internals) they should invest more time explaining and debating.
And time is something they actually have now, since we are far from the % needed for any of the sides.

...unless...
..Unless they are baking something else. I don't know. Maybe they are testing other approaches too and don't tell. Maybe they will come up with something much better than the actual SegWit and the actual BU ideas. But that's wishful thinking, I know.

Back on track: now it should be the time to discuss more; to explain for everybody want to read (again and again, I know, but maybe packed different) all the small details that makes SegWit the approach they went for.



iamnotback came with an interesting idea (although it was on a LTC related discussion). Maybe all this "war" is just a "divide et impera" game to keep the coin prices from exploding, before the right guys buy in and accumulated the amounts they planned for.
