The "Civil War" with devs and Bitcoin is a two fold problem:
1- It brings attention to Bitcoin, keeping it in the news
2- the attention is negative and brings to light the fighting in house has gone on a long time

Instead of bickering and fighting, maybe they need to put together their own thoughts and see if a general solution to the problems that have plagued BTC could arrise. Yes, I know that thought has been in play for some time too, but it seems at a stalemate. Move forward, strive to take BTC to the next level and NOT down a level....or two
