RE: Antpool has signaled Bitcoin Unlimited in 2 blocks!!!!
Huge news...
But even with a hashpower majority we still have the difficult problem of getting all the major Bitcoin businesses to go along with it. Many such as Coinbase and Blockchain.info may be relieved and eager to end the backlog, but many others are ideologically opposed and see BU as an 'attack' on the network.
Most just play both sides of the fence to try to keep all their customers. When XT and Classic were first announced the majority supported bigger blocks.
Even that implies that some businesses will be afraid of moving for fear of how their customers (and perhaps /r/bitcoin and bitcoin.org) respond.
