this agreement is joke from community . This reminds me LTC round table when 12 miners called themselves all users.
I have never been fo staing at 1MB forever but this binding segwit to HF in 6 months is joke.
HF to just increase to 2MB is weak. With HF you can add some good features to protocol why rush so much.
I don't want BTC hijacked by miners and their GREED...
this agreement is joke from 90% users running core client that are my 2 cents

Agreed. UASF is the way with a blockchain with no miners

That's perfectly possible, but that's a proof of stake consensus chain, not a proof of work consensus chain.

My personal opinion is that bitcoin's scaling problems will be solved once the "bitcoin" brand has eroded away his first mover value, which seems to come quicker than I thought.  Most probably, by August or November, this will already be the case.  Once the unicity of bitcoin's brand name is not the main stake any more, forking will not be hampered by "but we should get the bitcoin brand name with our chain", and one will be able to fork without fear.
That's just my personal intuition at this point.
