Good lord, I will be so relieved when we can finally put all this SegWit / scaling crap behind us.
And here I thought the analysis-paralysis in Corporate America IT was bad, often with endless meeting-upon-meeting discussions and multi years delay in the simplest of move forward decisions....
This SegWit crap has put that to absolute shame.
I am quoting and specifically mentioning your reply here because I do agree with you 1,000% haha. Yes, it is indeed a big shame for the whole Bitcoin community that it took the people responsible for the scaling problem so many months and so many discussions...those time and effort utilized are all way beyond normal. And since we are all dealing with Bitcoin which is supposed to be fast, efficient and cost-wise, these decision makers have been put to a test and they almost failed. However, I am just stating that because we should be learning some lessons here so that when another challenge can come up the same shenanigans and mess could be avoided.
