Lol, btc survives and does well and the NYT completely ruins their reputation with this story now.
Hopefully your right and Bitcoin Core does not announce it is supporting 2 MB hardfork compatible with Bitcoin Classic in the last hope to try keep control of Bitcoin.
But the real reason why Bitcoin Core loosing control over future of Bitcoin are those developers who try make Bitcoin blockchain just a settlement layer for offchain and centralized solutions for transactions, while Bitcoin Classic aim is continue with Satoshi plan to make decentralized P2P transactions possible right on Bitcoin blockchain, as long as technology allows it - average computer necessary for full node not the obsolete Rasberry PIs device or cheap virtual servers requirement today to run full node in Bitcoin Core vision.
I know who failed, and Bitcoin Core will not gain my trust even if they supports 2 MB hardfork compatible with Bitcoin Classic, because Bitcoin Core for example still planning RBF (relay by fee) feature which kills 0 confirmations as a payment possibility because Bitcoin Core vision is Bitcoin as a settlement layer for offchain transactions, not a decentralized P2P transactions possible on Bitcoin blockchain for payments.
Thus upgrading to future Bitcoin Core 0.12 is not advised, unless you completly agree with Bitcoin Core vision to keep Bitcoin small with blockchain transactions only for elite.
