Classic only has 2 experienced developers maintaining it where Core has 45.

[...]

Logically, supporting Classic doesn't make much sense.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but nowadays it is startups who actually innovate an have the ability and agility to jump into tiny gaps (in other words, they closely listen to the users or offer an unique feature).

As always, startups are quickly consumed by the big boys when they get somewhat successful: consider Classic as a great opportunity to safely figure out what the market wants. If successful, the 2mb feature will be adopted. A win-win situation I would say.


I think that I kind of understand your point regarding start-ups, and surely your description works fairly well when discussing dynamics of a variety of centralized institutions competing against each other for market share and frequently that is going to result in a lot of failures and a lot of amateur mistakes and also, sometimes targeting by vulture capitalists to "turn around" the project - whether that makes the project better or not.

You start up analogy seems to be somewhat week, when you seem to be attempting to describe centralized attributes to persons on the core developing team and bitcoin miners, etc.  These are decentralized dynamics, and even though some better ways may be introduced, the open sourced nature of bitcoin allows for the adoption of better ideas in order to avoid "hostile" and/or centralized-like attempts at take overs.
