&non-consensus hard-fork
Who is actually planning to move to Bitcoin-XT if this happens?
Just Gavin and Mike?

I'm quite puzzled by the response myself, it doesn't seem to address some of
the (more serious) concerns that Adam put out, the most important question that
was asked being the one regarding personal ownership of the proposed fork:
"How do you plan to deal with security & incident response for the duration
you describe where you will have control while you are deploying the unilateral
hard-fork and being in sole maintainership control?"
I do genuinely hope that whomever (now and future) wishes to fork the
protocol reconsider first whether they are truly ready to test/flex their
reputation/skills/resources in this way... Intuitively, to me it seems
counterproductive, and I don't fully believe it is within a single developer's
talents to manage the process start-to-finish (as it is non-trivial to
hard-fork successfully, others have rehashed this in other threads)...
That being said I think it appropriate if Adam's questions were responded
in-line when Mike is feeling up to it. I think that the answers are important
for the community to hear when such a drastic change is being espoused.

I worry that if this is the level of care you take with reading and
(mis)interpreting Adam's messages, that you might not be taking extreme care
with evaluating consensus changes, even while tired or sleeping. I encourage
you to evaluate both messages and source code more carefully, especially in the
world of bitcoin. However, this goes for everyone and not just you.
Specifically, when Adam mentioned your conversations with non-technical people,
he did not mean "Mike has talked with people who have possibly not made pull
requests to Bitcoin Core, so therefore Mike is a non-programmer". Communication
is difficult and I can understand that, but we really have to be more careful
when evaluating each other's messages; technical miscommunication can be
catastrophic in this context. On the topic of whether you are a programmer, I
suspect that ever since you built CIA.vc we have all known you're a programmer,
Mike.
