At least I perceive (and maybe others too) something else\nis happening.\n\nLet me try to clarify: the discussion has nothing to do with technical\narguments. I generally like more hard forks than soft forks (but I won't\nexplain why because this is not a technical thread), but for CLTV this is\nquite irrelevant (but I won't explain why..), and I want CLTV to be\ndeployed asap.\n\nMike's intention is to criticize the informal governance model of Bitcoin\nCore development and he has strategically pushed the discussion to a\ndead-end where the group either:\n\n1) ignores him, which is against the established criteria that all\ntechnical objections coming from anyone must be addressed until that person\nagrees, so that a change can be uncontroversial. If the group moves forward\nwith the change, then the \"uncontroversial\" criteria is violated and then\ncredibility is lost. So a new governance model would be required for which\nthe change is within the established rules.\n\n2) respond to his technical objections one after the other, on never ending\nthreads, bringing the project to a standstill.\n\nAs I don't want 2) to happen, then 1) must happen, which is what Mike\nwants. I have nothing for or against Mike personally. I just think Mike\nHearn has won this battle. But having a more formal decision making process\nmay not be too bad for Bitcoin, maybe it can actually be good.\n\nBest regards\n from a non-developer to my dearest developer friends,\n  Sergio.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20151005/4d07e31d/attachment.html\u003e"}
