Surely one of them will become the Bitcoin of the future, and therefore it should be on the discussion board. God help us if Classic wins, and we end up with centralised mining. :)

No. Discussions about Core do not get moved to the altcoin section as Core is the main implementation of Bitcoin today. Discussion of any controversial attempt at forking (XT, BU, Classic, etc.) will get moved to the altcoin section as that is where they belong. This is a "policy" set by theymos back when XT was "a thing".

I think it's better to say : How can core be an altcoin when the 'majority' of people are using it ?

When the Classic become the main bitcoin version after most miners adopt it, will you move it to the main section?

In the truest form of "main" Bitcoin, then yes I suppose. Keep in mind though, Bitcoin is not a majority run system, where 51% is the requirement. Bitcoin is a consensus run protocol which requires lets say 90% or better just spitballing a %. Lots of requirements would have to be met for a Bitcoin fork to become Bitcoin and not just a Bitcoin fork. It involves adoption by all available services, exchanges, users, etc.
