LoL What a miserable fuck he became in the end. But Core Devs&Satoshi are also to blame. Letting bitcoin.com go was the retardest idea ever. And it wasn't an average Joe who got the domain. It was a fucking villain. Now we have to deal with him from a disadvantageous position.

Good job core devs good job. Just because of this mistake, you deserve to lose. Sorry.

edit: It is still there if you check the "full" tab. But still he can remove it from there and nobody can do nothing about it.

FUD post, using selective screen-shotting as a propaganda mechanism.

They don't remove Bitcoin Core, but they simply hide it (Full > Select All Wallet).

The featured wallet is entirely random. Bitcoin core does appear there. Yep, sometimes it is the featured wallet.

From the letter that they signed, Bitpay, Circle, Xapo, and Bitgo are supporting Bitcoin XT. As stated in the letter,

    We[the signers] support the implementation of BIP101

The only implementation of BIP101 is BItcoin XT, and they are also promising to

    support BIP101 in [their] software and systems by December 2015

December 2015 is almost gone, and they have already promised to upgrade to XT.

Since Coinbase was already removed for supporting Bitcoin XT, then these other wallets should be removed since they also support Bitcoin XT, as seen by the letter they all signed.

BTW, Copay is Bitpay's wallet.
achow101 added some commits on 28 Dec 2015
   @achow101    Remove copay
   @achow101    Remove circle
   @achow101    Remove xapo
   @achow101    Remove bitgo

and when segwit was getting ready to start needing support... suddenly the politics ramped up and suddenly the segwit supporting entities popped up again
