Which one of the Core Devs do you think will be the first to crack under the pressure? 2 of 5 with commit access are already bigblockers. Who's going to be the swing vote?  Who's going to ragequit?

They successfully fought off XT so maybe they still think they can win, but if they come back with a date for a HF farther out than 18 months, the markets going to take a big steaming dump on their heads. If they don't respond at all by the deadline, it's a big dump. If they say 1MB4EVA, big dump. If they say blah de blah, it's impossible to set a date because reasons...Big dump.

If they say "oh, alright. All that stuff we said we couldn't do? We'll do it", Fucking. Moon.

Politically, It will be Jeff Garzik's win and he becomes Satoshi's successor.
Blockstream will have to explain to the VCs why they just destroyed their own business plan. That would be an interesting conversation to hear.

We will all be sipping margaritas by the pool celebrating my short blowing up while scantily clad Polynesian girls fan us with palm fronds. Odes will be written about Garzik the Great Consensus Builder. Earnest young men will valet park our Lamborghinis.  Empires will crumble.  Maidens will weep with joy and then...

Oh yeah, we still have that concentrated mining problem. Fuck.
