Agreed with Greg Maxwell. Let’s skip years of infighting and smear campaigns, and jump ahead to the predictable climax?

Those that wish to block large OP_RETURNs and whatever else they see as spam deploy a UASF to render it invalid.

Those that consider this a form of censorship and undesirable deploy a URSF (user rejected soft fork) to counter it.

Exchanges can offer fork futures long before the actual split happens, gauging user sentiment and informing miners where to direct their hash power at fork point. Hopefully we’ll see a winner-takes-most dynamic and minimal disruption for non-upgraded nodes, i.e. no large re-orgs.
