The 2x part will never happen in November but who cares? Bigblockers have finally there BCash coin with no Segwit+8mb blocks...thats what they wanted, right?
What they want is control. Block sizes are irrelevant
And that is exactly what makes me afraid of a 'core' implementation. Multiple implementations needs to be highly encouraged. Software has bugs, at least with multiple implementations you mitigate that risk.
IMHO the core team is making a big mistake by making their implementation incompatible with the 2X part of the NYA. It makes me sick how /r/bitcoin is currently involuntarily displaying a very narrowed view on the matter. I care about Bitcoin and the freedom it provides and don't need anyone to tell what is best, just code and stfu.
If you realize why XT, Classic, BU, BCash etc has failed then you'll understand why Core's roadmap is the best possible solution to make Bitcoin mainstream in the most decentralised way.
