I think its plain to see the soft fork is controversial.

But that=E2=80=99s not the point.

The point is that Bitcoin Core claims to have a consensus mechanism and=
 sticks=20
to "no change" on not reaching a consensus. And that rule is the reason=
 why=20
bigger blocks were blocked for years.

History has shown that for many decision making processes this doesn't =
work,=20
and this argument has been made to Core.=20
Until today this was essentially a rule that hurt the things that Mike =
was=20
really passionate about.
Today this hurts the things that some other devs are passionate about.

I think today is the day that everyone should agree that the past is th=
e past=20
and we all learned our lesson and Bitcoin Core will make decisions a di=
fferent=20
way.
