OK so Shillbert makes a last-ditch effort to save the Core team and Blockstream's $75 mil. He pretends that Core is snubbing him, even though he could have every single core dev present by sending one "mission-critical" email. The miners smell a rat, and agree to some stuff but not really exactly what anyone wants.
Aren't we assuming that 80% of the relevant people will run this crappy code? I'm waiting a few weeks for this latest spin cycle to finish...
