Divide et empera. That seems to be the strategy. If they succeed in taking over Bitcoin, they will rule it. Many of the current devs have stated they will likely stop contributing to the code. Who will then? Gavin has stopped contributing a while ago, Mike didn't do this at all. There are a lot of talented developers here, but very few have as much expertise as the current devs. So it will all be on Gavin, can he shoulder it?
Or maybe magically the new devs appear and start slowly, bit-by-bit to weaken Bitcoin's security model. If done properly, most wouldn't notice until it's completely centralized.

Since this XT drama began, I was wondering about Gavins desperate efford to force bigger blocksize, even after he obv. realized, that there is a strong resistance against this fork. I mean, he could have simply stepped back and wait for the right time to come up with his idea again. When the current blocksize really turns out to be problematic, then he would have a majority and a consensus.
Instead he is knowingly dividing/weakening the Bitcoin community (incl. himself) for his idea.
This behaviour doesn't seem appropriate to me. Is there something more behind it, than just a larger blocksize?
