What you’re ignoring is that they had no choice but to do their best to have ‘the resulting product [be] an agreement or a proposal’. because not to would have resulted in the BIP148ers causing a recklessly dangerous split. Go check out Reddit. They’re boasting about it and taking claim for the locking in of Segwit which happened as a result of the NYA.
I’m not seeing Adam Beck saying that should have been opposed because of the NYA?! It doesn’t matter which of the many different stakeholders of Bitcoin come up with and instigates a change. It just needs to be supported by enough of the others to go through. But judge the changes on their merits, not because of who happens to come up with it! The whole ‘corporate takeover’ stuff is just FUD.
