I think Satoshi is hitting himself with a hammer at this moment. You have huge banks fighting over his intellectual property rights and they are using the Blockchain to their advantage now. I think he predicted some of this, when Gavin ran to the CIA and he saw what direction this was going towards.
Now Gavin are trying another approach to get control by spamming the community with Bip proposals that adds little value other than increasing the block size to 2MB. How much work did that take?

XT seems to be pretty well derailed, but I get the feeling that the battle isn't over yet. I think we'll just have to get used to the idea that Bitcoin isn't invulnerable to manipulations like the one that Mike Hearn stomped off in a hissy fit over and stay on high alert for now. I am interesting on hearing everybody's thoughts on where we should go from here.
Correct, XT is ancient history.
The battle for scalability isn't over.
Core is trying to get segwit done in time before Classic rolls out.
Meanwhile, Gavin just proposed 2MB bip. Even if Core manages
to release segwit, there is so much bad blood now that I think
people will still want bigger blocks as well. And there may
be a bigger battle over how to implement governance
in Bitcoin. seems to me that centralized development is prone
to issues.
Not sure what 'manipulation' you're talking about with Mike Hearn.
Who has he manipulated and how?
As for Satoshi, I'm sure he finds it all interesting and
knows there will be a resolution sooner or later.
