u cannot stop an idea who's time has come,
its a skynet bred self reinforcing self protecting

Gavin can change the code at any time. Isn't that one person with way too much power over the project?
what?!!
he has already changed the code once (bitcoin xt) and failed.
and no matter how much more he or anybody else changes bitcoin code, as long as there are other people using bitcoin (all the users, services, miners, other developers, etc) it will fail again if it is not useful, and they don't agree upon it.
