WAKE THE HELL UP
Anyone can run whatever client they like at any time.

take the november bip for growing the baseblock. blockstream have already decided to make it an altcoin and in all ways possible avoid letting consensus decide. they are already building walls to stop anyone using satoshis consesnus mechanism of decentralised voting and avoid changes being made unless blockstream allow it
