It's not about "evidence of doing wrong", the point is Blockstream has huge influence
on Core due to the names I just mentioned.
So 3 people have more influence that then remaining contributors (~40 I believe)? How would this be possible?
Pretty much, yes. If not "more", then a huge chunk of the influence.
How is this possible? It's simple:
Most things in life, nature, business, whatever do not have an even distribution.
The alpha lion gets to eat first (hence the term lion's share). The others get scraps.
That's how the world works. Greg and Pieter have much more public recognition
(and rightfully so) due to better skills, more lines of code written, more publicity, etc.
And also they are on the top tier as far as having been 2 of the 5 with commit access
to the repo.
As a side note, I heard that Greg recently gave up his commit access. If that
is true and he did it to reduce conflict of interest, I applaud that but I think
it doesn't reduce his influence much.
Also, if you're thinking "oh good he's admitting how skilled they are", well I never
disagreed with that.
