XT was rejected. Get over it, we'll be scaling up without BIP101 or XT. Go away.
The only thing that has been OVERWHELMINGLY rejected is the "no increase in blocksize' mantra trotted out by core devs for the last 12 months. That hope and dream is lying in tatters on the ground as they scramble to reformulate their stand to include "Hey, bigger blocks are ok!!" That is the great victory that XT has brought about.
Revisionist much?
XT's "great victory" only resulted in the functional ascendency of BIP000.
The blocksize debate is just as, if not more, deadlocked than before the XT fiasco. That stalemate is EXACTLY the outcome Team 1MB wanted (TYVM!).
We Core defenders stuck XT's ludicrous plans in the deep freeze, just like Israel did with Dubya's Roadmap to Peace. There, there. Try not to be such a poor sport about it.
This XT move created a lot of division. So if XT was secretly designed to cause so much division that the block size could never be changed (i.e. nothing resembling consensus could ever be formed), then XT might be a success.
The only revisionism going on there is pretending that XT was never a deadly serious (ie overambitious) attempt at an actual governance coup, which was willing to risk catastrophic consensus failure in order to achieve narrow process and technical changes of strictly limited value.
You are, by retroactively reframing XT as merely some kind of magical motivational poster, desperately trying to avoid the stinging cognitive dissonance of its inglorious defeat.
Team Gavin said things and acted as if XT would destroy Core with a bang, but what happened is XT died with only the faintest of whimpers.
And so, having crushed the enemies of Core, we now enjoy the lamentations of their women.
