Gavin is either complicit or more likely a pawn who thinks he is choosing the best compromises to grow the adoption. And I doubt Gavin has enough power to hard fork even if he wanted to. We are in political game theory now, and the power vacuum of democracy applies.

Egypt or Ukraine serves as a salient recent example.
